| Abstract | Pollination of petunia (Petunia hybrida) flowers induces a rapid increase in ethylene production by styles, which subsequently leads to increased ethylene production by the corolla, inducing senescence. We have investigated the temporal and spatial expression of 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate (ACC) oxidase transcripts in petunia styles in an attempt to elucidate its role in increased ethylene biosynthesis following pollination. Previously, we reported that the development of petunia flowers was associated with increased ACC oxidase mRNA localized specifically in the stigmatic regions of the style (X. Tang, A.M.T. Gomes, A. Bhatia, W.R. Woodson [1994] Plant Cell 6: 1227-1239). The rapid increase in ethylene production by styles within the 1st h following pollination was correlated with the expression of ACC oxidase mRNAs during development. Pollination of petunia flowers prior to anthesis and the expression of ACC oxidase mRNA led to a substantial increase in ethylene production, but this was delayed by several hours in comparison with flowers at anthesis. This delayed increase in ethylene production by pollinated styles from immature flowers was associated with an increased ACC oxidase transcript abundance. Treatment with the ethylene action inhibitor 2,5-norbornadiene did not affect the early increase in ethylene production or the expression of ACC oxidase mRNAs. No differences in the rate of pollen germination or tube growth were detected when applied to stigmas from immature or mature flowers, indicating that the delay in ethylene production was likely the result of limited ACC oxidase activity. Localization of ACC oxidase mRNAs following pollination by in situ hybridization revealed an abundance of transcripts in transmitting tract tissue within 4 h of pollination of both immature and mature styles, in contrast to their localization in stigmatic cells during development. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
