Decreased growth temperature increases soybean stearoyl-acyl carrier protein desaturase activity

Abstract

Developing soybean (Glycine max) seeds respond to a change in growth temperature by changing the level of stearoyl acyl carrier protein desaturase activity in the tissue. After 20 hours in liquid culture, seeds grown at 20 degrees C show an increase in activity while seeds grown at 35 degrees C show a decrease in activity, relative to their preculture levels. Analysis of the enzyme from both growth conditions shows the change not to be due to induction of kinetically distinct iosenzymes; desaturase activities from both 20 degrees C and 35 degrees C have identical behavior with regard to pH, temperature optimum, substrate concentration and cofactor requirements. Experiments with boiled extracts indicate that the modulation is not caused by induction of metabolic effectors. From these data, it appears that stearoyl-acyl carrier protein desaturase responds to changes in growth temperature by altering the level of active enzyme present in the tissue. The magnitude of this response is a function of the developmental stage of the seed and not a function of the growth conditions of the parent plant. Changing the age of the seeds from early late R5 changed the ratio of 20:35 degrees C activity from 3.8:1 to 1.2:1. Changing the temperature at which the parent plants were grown over a range from 20/12 degrees C to 34/28 degrees C (day/night) produced only minor, and inconsistent, changes in the ratio of 20:35 degrees C activities.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
