Among the wide set of responses to cope with low soil P, plants increase their level of intracellular and secreted acid phosphatases （APases）, which helps to catalyze inorganic phosphate （Pi） hydrolysis from organophosphates, in this study we characterized the rice （Oryza sativa） purple acid phosphatase 10a （OsPAPIOa）. OsPAPIOa belongs to group la of purple acid phosphatases （PAPs）, and clusters with the principal secreted PAPs in a variety of plant species including Arabidopsis. The transcript abundance of OsPAPIOa is specifically induced by Pi deficiency and is controlled by OsPHR2, the central transcription factor controlling Pi homeostasis. In gel activity assays of root and shoot protein extracts, it was revealed that OsPAPIOa is a major acid phosphatase isoform induced by Pi starvation. Constitutive overexpression of OsPAPIOa results in a significant increase of phosphatase activity in both shoot and root protein extracts. In vivo root 5-bromo.4-chloro-3-indolyl-phosphate （BCIP） assays and activity measurements on external media showed that OsPAPIOa is a root-associated APase. Furthermore, overexpression of OsPAPIOa significantly improved ATP hydrolysis and utilization compared with wild type plants. These results indicate that OsPAPIOa can potentially be used for crop breeding to improve the efficiency of P use.展开更多

In this study, we investigate the role of APase activity in tuber development in potato. APase activities were mainly localized in cytoplasm, gaps among cells and stroma of amyloplasts of parenchyma cells at the stage of tuber swelling. AP1, encoding a putative APase, was also highly expressed in swelling tubers and a low level of expression was observed in elongated stolons and matured tubers. Inhibition of APase activity by applying Brefeldin A, an inhibitor of APase production and secretion, significantly suppressed the tuber swelling and moderately affected the stolon elongation and the tuberization frequency. During tuber development, sucrose serves as the main soluble sugar for long-distance transportation and resorption. Moreover, inhibition of APase activity by Brefeldin A markedly reduced the sucrose content in tubers and further decreased the starch accumulation, suggesting that the function of APase in regulating the tuber swelling might be at least partially mediated by the sugar resorption. Exogenous sucrose treatments further indicate the important role of sucrose-mediated sugar resorption in tuber swelling. These results suggest that the APase activity might affect the tuber swelling by partially regulating the sucrose-mediated sugar resorption.展开更多

P-deficiency significantly decreased the biomass, but induced the significant enhancement of the APase activity. Since P-deficiency had smaller effects on the low-P tolerant maize lines compared with P-sensitive lines, it was demonstrated that differences of tolerance to P-deficiency existed among 10 different maize lines. In addition, the relative biomass and APase activity changed during the vegetative stage of development, and there existed a significant correlation between the biomass and APase activity under low-P stress. These results suggest that the biomass and APase activity can be regarded as indicative traits of maize lines for tolerance to low-P stress at seedling stage.展开更多
