Changes in the activity of glycogen phosphorylase and the content of fructose-2,6-bisphosphate (F-2, 6-P2) were monitored in tissues of the whelk, Busycotypus canaliculatum, over a 21-h course of environmental anoxia. Tissue-specific responses to anoxia were seen with respect to phosphorylase content: in the radular retractor muscle and foot, the content of phosphorylase a expressed rose rapidly over the initial hours of anoxia (maximal increases were 4.3- and 2.5-fold, respectively) while in the gill, content dropped 2-fold during anoxia. Phosphorylase content was modulated by two mechanisms, changes in the percentage of enzyme in the active a form and changes in the total amount (a + b) of enzyme expressed. Anoxia stimulated a dramatic reduction in F-2,6-P2 content in five tissues. In the ventricle, content fell by 224-fold with a t1/2 of only 35 min. Levels in gill, radular retractor, hepatopancreas, and kidney fell to 2.5–3.5% of control values within the first 8 h of anoxia. F-2,6-P2 content in foot muscle was not altered during anoxia. Changes in glycogen phosphorylase activities and F-2,6-P2 contents help to produce tissue-specific responses of glycolysis to environmental anoxia that acknowledge competing metabolic demands including metabolic rate depression, changes in fuel use, anaerobic energy needs, and carbohydrate use for anabolic purposes.

Abstract The study is the first report on de novo transcriptome analysis of Nardostachys jatamansi, a critically endangered medicinal plant of alpine Himalayas. Illumina GAIIx sequencing of plants collected during end of vegetative growth (August) yielded 48,411 unigenes. 74.45% of these were annotated using UNIPROT. GO enrichment analysis, KEGG pathways and PPI network indicated simultaneous utilization of leaf photosynthates for flowering, rhizome fortification, stress response and tissue-specific secondary metabolites biosynthesis. Among the secondary metabolite biosynthesis genes, terpenoids were predominant. UPLC-PDA analysis of in vitro plants revealed temperature-dependent, tissue-specific differential distribution of various phenolics. Thus, as compared to 25 °C, the phenolic contents of both leaves (gallic acid and rutin) and roots (p-coumaric acid and cinnamic acid) were higher at 15 °C. These phenolics accounted for the therapeutic properties reported in the plant. In qRT-PCR of in vitro plants, secondary metabolite biosynthesis pathway genes showed higher expression at 15 °C and 14 h/10 h photoperiod (conditions representing end of vegetative growth period). This provided cues for in vitro modulation of identified secondary metabolites. Such modulation of secondary metabolites in in vitro systems can eliminate the need for uprooting N. jatamansi from wild. Hence, the study is a step towards effective conservation of the plant.
