Uptake of 13C and 15N (ammonium, nitrate and urea) by Microcystis in Lake Kasumigaura 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The uptake rate of carbon and nitrogen (ammonium, nitrate andurea) by the Microcystis predominating among phytoplankton wasinvestigated in the summer of 1984 in Takahamaira Bay of LakeKasumigaura. The Vmax values of Microcystis for nitrate (0.0250.046h1) and ammonium (0.150.17 h1) were considerablyhigher than other natural phytoplankton. The ammonium, nitrateand urea uptake by Microcystis was light dependent and was notinhibited with nigh light intensity. The K1 values were farlower than the Ik values. The carbon uptake was not influencedby nitrogen enrichment. Microcystis accelerated the uptake rateby changing Vmax/K s value when nitrogen versus carbon contentin cells declined. Nitrate was scarcely existent in TakahamairiBay during the summer, when Microcystis usually used ammoniumas the nitrogen source. However, the standing stock of ammoniumin the water was far lower than the daily ammonium uptake rates.Therefore, the ammonium in this water had to be supplied becauseof its rapid turn-over time (0.72.6 h). 相似文献

Growth and nitrate uptake kinetics in vegetatively growing barley(Hordeum vulgare L., cvs Laevigatum, Golf, and Mette) were investigatedin solution culture under long-term limitations of externalnitrogen availability. Nitrate was fed to the cultures at relativeaddition rates (RA) ranging from 0.02 to 0.2 d1. Therelative growth rate (RG, calculated for total plant dry weight)correlated well with RA in the range 0.02 to 0.07 d1.In the RA range from 0.07 to 0.2 d1 RG continued to increase,but an increasing fraction of nitrogen, added and absorbed,was apparently stored rather than used for structural growth.The RG of the roots was less affected by RA. Vmax, for net nitrateuptake increased with RA up to 0.11 d1, but decreasedat higher RA. The decline in Vmax coincided with a build-upof nitrate stores in both roots and shoots. Vmax, expressedper unit nitrogen in the plants (the relative Vmax, was higherthan required for maintenance of growth (up to 30-fold) at lowRA, whereas at higher RA the relative Vmax decreased. Kineticpredictions of steady-state external nitrate concentrationsduring N-limited growth ranged from 0.2 to 5.0 mmol m3over the RG range 0.02 to 0.11 d1. It is suggested thatthe nitrate uptake system is not under specific regulation atlow RA, but co-ordinated with root protein synthesis and growthin general. At RA higher than 0.11 d1, however, specificregulation of nitrate uptake, possibly via root nitrate pools,become important. The three cultivars showed very similar growthand nitrate uptake characteristics. Key words: Barley, growth, nitrogen limitation, nitrate uptake, kinetics 相似文献

Phosphate Regulation of Nitrate Assimilation in Soybean 总被引:24,自引:1,他引:23

It is known that phosphorus deficiency results in alterationsin the assimilation of nitrogen. An experiment was conductedto investigate mechanisms involved in altered 15NO3 uptake,endogenous 15N translocation, and amino acid accumulation insoybean (Glycine max L. Merrill, cv. Ransom) plants deprivedof an external phosphorus supply for 20 d in solution culture.Phosphorus deprivation led to decreased rates of 15NO3uptake and increased accumulation of absorbed 15N in the root.Both effects became more pronounced with time. Asparagine, theprimary transport amino acid in soybean, accumulated in largeexcess in roots and stems. In roots of phosphorus-deprived plants,concentrations of ATP and inorganic phosphate declined rapidly,but dry weight accumulation was similar to or above that ofthe control even after 20 d of treatment. Arginine accumulationin leaves was greatly enhanced, even though 15N partitioninginto the insoluble reduced-N fraction of leaves was unaffected.The results suggest that decreases in NO3 uptake in lowphosphorus plants could be caused by feedback control factorsand by limited ATP availability. The decline in endogenous Ntransport from the root to the shoot may be associated withchanges in membrane properties, which also result in paralleleffects on hydraulic conductance and the upward flow of waterthrough the plant.

Barley (Hordeum vulgare L., cvs Golf, Mette, and Laevigatum)was grown under nitrogen limitation in solution culture untilnear maturity. Three different nitrogen addition regimes wereused: in the HN culture the relative rate of nitrate-Naddition (RA) was 0·08 d1 until day 48 and thendecreased stepwise to, finally, 0·005 d1 duringgrain-filling; the LN culture received 45% ofthe nitrogen added in HN; the CN culture was maintainedat RA 0·0375 d1 throughout. Kinetics of net nitrateuptake were measured during ontogeny at 30 to 150 mmol m3external nitrate. Vmax (which is argued to reflect the maximuminflux rate in these plants) declined with age in both HN andLN cultures. A pronounced transient drop was observed just beforeanthesis, which correlated in time with a peak in root nitrateconcentration. Similar, but less pronounced, trends were observedin CN. The relative Vmax (unit nitrogen taken up per unit nitrogenin plants and day) in all three cultures declined from 1·32·3d1 during vegetative growth to 0·10·7d1 during generative growth. These values are in HN andLN cultures 15- to more than 100-fold in excess of the demandset by growth rates throughout ontogeny. Predicted balancingnitrate concentrations (defined as the nitrate concentrationrequired to support the observed rate of growth) were below6·0 mmol m3 in HN and LN cultures before anthesisand then decreased during ontogeny. In CN cultures the balancingnitrate concentration increased during grain-filling. Apartfrom the transient decline during anthesis, most of the effectof ageing on relative Vmax can be explained in terms of reducedcontribution of roots to total biomass (R:T). The loss in uptakeper unit root weight is largely compensated for by the declinewith time in average tissue nitrogen concentrations. The quantitativerelationships between relative Vmax and R:T in ageing plantsare similar to those observed for vegetative plants culturedat different RAs. The data support the contention that the capacity for nitrateacquisition in N-limited plants is under general growth control,rather than controlled by specific regulation of the biochemicalpathway of nitrate assimilation.

The processes of NO3 uptake and transport and the effectsof NH4+ or L-glutamate on these processes were investigatedwith excised non-mycorrhizal beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) roots.NO3 net uptake followed uniphasic Michaelis-Menten kineticsin a concentration range of 10µM to 1 mM with an apparentKm of 9.2 µM and a Vmax of 366 nmol g1 FW h1.NH4+, when present in excess to NO3, or 10 mM L-glutamateinhibited the net uptake of NO3 Apparently, part of NO3taken up was loaded into the xylem. Relative xylem loading ofNO3 ranged from 3.21.6 to 6.45.1% of NO3 netuptake. It was not affected by treatment with NH4+ or L-glutamate.16N/13N double labelling experiments showed that NO3efflux from roots increased with increasing influx of NO3and, therefore, declined if influx was reduced by NH4+ or L-glutamateexposure. From these results it is concluded that NO3net uptake by non-mycorrhizal beech roots is reduced by NH4+or L-glutamate at the level of influx and not at the level ofefflux.

Root Hydraulic Conductivity of Two Cactus Species in Relation to Root Age, Temperature, and Soil Water Status 总被引:6,自引:1,他引:5
The effects of root age, temperature, and soil water statuson root hydraulic conductivity (LP) were investigated for twocactus species, Ferocactus acanthodes and Opuntia ficus-indica.The volumetric flux density of water was measured for excisedroot segments, either using negative hydrostatic pressures appliedto the proximal end or using reverse flow of water from theroot to the soil. For both species, LP at 20 ?C increased withroot age, average values reaching a maximum of 3.9 ? 107m s1 MPa1 for F. acanthodes and 5.2 ? 107m s1 MPa1 for O.ficus-indica at 11 to 17 weeksof age; LP subsequently declined with increasing root age forboth species. LP was maximal at a temperature of about 10 ?Cfor the youngest roots (13 weeks), this optimum shiftingto 40 ?C for 8-week-old roots of both species. For older roots(up to 1.5-years-old), LP increased with temperature from 0?C to 50 ?C, with a Q10 of 1.3 between 20 ?C and 30 ?C. At asoil water potential (soil) of 0.016 MPa, root LP wasindependent of the direction of water flow for both species.Depending on root age, LP declined 45- to 500-fold for F. acanthodesand 90- to 800-fold for O.ficus-indica as soil was reduced from0.016 to 1.06 MPa, consistent with a rectifier-likebehaviour with respect to water movement between soil and roots.Incorporation of such responses into water uptake models shouldlead to a better understanding of root function.

The specific respiration rates of nodulated root systems, ofnodules and of roots were determined during active nitrogenfixation in soya bean, navy bean, pea, lucerne, red clover andwhite clover, by measurements on whole plants before and afterthe removal of nodule populations. Similar measurements weremade on comparable populations of the six legumes, lacking nodulesbut receiving abundant nitrate-nitrogen, to determine the specificrespiration of their roots. All plants were grown in a controlled-environmentclimate which fostered rapid growth. The specific respiration rates of nodulated root systems ofthe three grain and three forage legumes during a 714-dayperiod of vegetative growth varied between 10 and 17 mg CO2g1 (dry weight) h1. This mean value consistedof two components: a specific root respiration rate of 69mg CO2 g1 h1 and a specific nodule respirationrate of 2246 mg CO2 g1 h1. Nodule respirationaccounted for 4270 per cent of nodulated root respiration;nodule weight accounted for 1240 per cent of nodulatedroot weight. The specific respiration rates of roots lackingnodules and utilizing nitrate nitrogen were generally 2030per cent greater than the equivalent rates of roots from nodulatedplants. The measured respiratory effluxes are discussed in thecontext of nitrogen nitrogen fixation, nitrate assimilation.

Hydraulic and osmotic properties of roots of 2-year-old Norwayspruce seedlings (Plcea abiea (L.) Karst) were investigatedusing different techniques (steady flow, pressure probe, andstop flow technique). Root pressures were measured using theroot pressure probe. Compared to roots of herbaceous plantsor deciduous trees, excised root systems of spruce did not developappreciable root pressure (-0.001 to 0.004 MPa or -10 to 40cm of water column). When hydrostatic pressure gradients wereused to drive water flows across the roots, hydraulic conductivities(Lpr) were determined in two types of experiments: (i) rootpressure relaxations (using the root pressure probe) and (ii)steady flow experiments (pneumatic pressures applied to theroot system or xylem or partial vacuum applied to the xylem).Root Lpr ranged between 0.2 and 8108m s1 MPa1(on average) depending on the conditions. In steady flow experiments,Lpr depended on the pressure applied (or on the flow acrossthe roots) and equalled (0.190.12) to (1.21.7)108m s1 MPa1 at pressures between 0.2 and 0.4 MPaand (1.51.3)108 m s1 MPa1 at appliedpressures between 0.8 and 1.0 MPa. When pressures or vacuumwere applied to the xylem, Lpr values were similar. The hydraulicconductivity measured during pressure relaxations (transientwater flows) was similar to that obtained at high pressures(and water flows). Although there was a considerable scatterin the data, there was a tendency of the hydraulic conductivityof the roots to decrease with increasing size of the root system.When osmotic gradients were used to drive water flows, Lpr valuesobtained with the root pressure probe were much smaller thanthose measured in the presence of hydrostatic gradients. Onaverage, a root Lpr=0.017108 was found for osmotic andLpr=6.4108 m s1 MPa1 in correspondinghydrostatic experiments, i.e. the two values differed by a factorwhich was as large as 380. The same hydraulic conductivity asthat obtained in osmotic experiments using the pressure probewas obtained by the 'stop flow techniquel. In this technique,the suction created by an osmoticum applied to the root wasbalanced by a vacuum applied to the xylem. Lpr values of rootsystems did not change significantly when measured for up to5 d. In osmotic experiments with different solutes (Na2S04,K2S04, Ca(NO3)2, mannitol), no passive uptake of solutes couldbe detected, i.e. the solute permeability was very low whichwas different from earlier findings on roots of herbs. Reflectioncoefficients of spruce roots (O were low for solutes for whichplant cell membranes exhibit values of virtually unity ( 相似文献

Nitrogen-13 Studies of Nitrate Fluxes in Barley Roots: II. EFFECT OF PLANT N-STATUS ON THE KINETIC PARAMETERS OF NITRATE INFLUX 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
Influx of nitrate into the roots of intact barley plants wasfollowed over periods of 115 min using nitrogen-13 asa tracer. Based on measurements taken over 15 min from a rangeof external nitrate concentrations (0·2250 mmolm3), the kinetic parameters of influx, Imax and Km, werecalculated. Compared with plants grown in the presence of nitrate throughout,plants that had been starved of N for 3 d showed a significantlygreater value ofImax for 13N-nitrate influx (by a factor of1·41·8), but a similar value of Km (1214mmol m3). Pre-treating N-starved plants with nitratefor about 5 h further increased the subsequent rate of 13N-nitrateinflux, but had little effect in the unstarved controls. Allowingfor this induction of additional nitrate transport, the differencein rates of nitrate influx in control and N-starved plants wassufficient to account for the previously-observed differencein net uptake by the two groups of plants. In barley plants grown without any exposure to nitrate, butwith ammonium as N-source, both Imax and Km for subsequent 13N-nitrateinflux were significantly decreased (by about one-half) comparedwith the corresponding nitrate-grown controls. The importance of changes in the rate of influx in the regulationof net uptake of nitrate is discussed. Key words: Ion transport, nitrate, influx, kinetic parameters, N-deficiency 相似文献

Soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merrill] plants that had been subjectedto 15 d of nitrogen deprivation were resupplied for 10 d with1.0 mol m3 nitrogen provided as NO3, NH4+, orNH4++NO3 in flowing hydroponic culture. Plants in a fourthhydroponic system received 1.0 mol m3 NO3 duringboth stress and resupply periods. Concentrations of solublecarbohydrates and organic acids in roots increased 210 and 370%,respectively, during stress. For the first day of resupply,however, specific uptake rates of nitrogen, determined by ionchromatography as depletion from solution, were lower for stressedthan for non-stressed plants by 43% for NO3- resupply, by 32%for NH4+ + NO3 resupply, and 86% for NH4+ resupply. Whenspecific uptake of nitrogen for stressed plants recovered torates for non-stressed plants at 6 to 8 d after nitrogen resupply,carbohydrates and organic acids in their roots had declinedto concentrations lower than those of non-stressed plants. Recoveryof nitrogen uptake capacity of roots thus does not appear tobe regulated simply by the content of soluble carbon compoundswithin roots. Solution concentrations of NH4+ and NO3 were monitoredat 62.5 min intervals during the first 3 d of resupply. Intermittenthourly intervals of net influx and net effluxoccurred. Rates of uptake during influx intervals were greaterfor the NH4+ -resupplied than for the NO3 -resuppliedplants. For NH4+ -resupplied plants, however, the hourly intervalsof efflux were more numerous than for NO3 -resuppliedplants. It thus is possible that, instead of repressing NH4+influx, increased accumulation of amino acids and NH4+ in NH4+-resupplled plants inhibited net uptake by stimulation of effluxof NH4+ absorbed in excess of availability of carbon skeletonsfor assimilation. Entry of NH4+ into root cytoplasm appearedto be less restricted than translocation of amino acids fromthe cytoplasm into the xylem.

Millhouse, J. and Strother, S. 1987. Further characteristicsof salt-dependent bicarbonate use by the seagrass Zostera muelleri.J.exp. Bot. 38: 10551068. The contribution of HCO3to photosynthetic O2 evolutionin the seagrass Zostera muelleri Irmisch ex Aschers. increasedwith increasing salinity of the bathing seawater when the inorganiccarbon concentration was kept constant. K1/2 (seawater salts)for HCO3 -dependent photosynthesis was 66% of seawatersalinity. Both short- and long-term pretreatment at low salinitiesstimulated photosynthesis in full strength seawater. Twentyfour hours pre-incubation of seagrass plants in 3·0 molm3 NaHCO3 resulted in increased photosynthesis at allsalinities, apparently due to stimulation of HCO3 use(K1/2 (seawater salts) = 26%). Vmax (HCO3) was not affectedby low salinity pretreatment. The kinetics of HCO3 stimulationby the major seawater cations was investigated. Ca2+ was themost effective cation with the highest Vmax (HCO3) andwith K1/2(Ca2+) = 14 mol m3. Mg2+ was also very effectiveat less than 50 mol m3 but higher concentrations wereinhibitory. This inhibition cannot be accounted for solely byprecipitation of MgCO3. Na+ and K+ were both capable of stimulatingHCO3 use. Stimulation was in two distinct parts. Up to500 mol m3, both citrate and chloride salts gave similarresults (K1/2(Na+) 81 mol m3, Vmax(HCO3) 0·26µmol O2 mg1 chl min1), but use of citratesalts above 500 mol m2 caused a second stimulation ofHCO3 use (K1/2(Na+) 830 mol m3, Vmax(HCO3)0·68 µmol O2 mg1 chl min1). Vmax(HCO3)for the second-phase Na+ or K+ stimulation was of the same orderas for Ca2+-stimulated HCO3 use. To further characterizesalt-dependent HCO3 use, the sensitivity of photosynthesisto Tris and TES buffers was investigated. The effects of Trisappear to be due to the action of Tris+ causing stimulationof HCO3 -dependent photosynthesis in the absence of salt,but inhibition of HCO3 use in saline media. TES has noeffect on photosynthesis. External carbonic anhydrase, althoughimplicated in salt-dependent HCO3 use in Z. muelleri,could not be detected in whole leaves.

Experiments were performed with soybean plants to test the hypothesisthat the inhibition of NO3 uptake in darkness is dueto feedback control by NO3 and/or Asn accumulating inthe roots. Xylem export of N compounds was shown to depend onwater flux in both excised root systems and 15N-labelled intactplants, suggesting that the shortage of transpiration in darknessmay be responsible for the retention of NO3 and Asn inthe roots. This was verified in experiments where the light/darkpattern of transpiration was modulated in intact plants by changingthe relative humidity of the atmosphere. Any decrease of transpirationat night was associated with a concurrent stimulation of NO3and Asn accumulations in the roots. However, the light/darkrhythmicity of NO3 uptake was only marginally affectedby these treatments, and thusappeared quite independent fromtranspiration and root NO3 or Asn levels. Typically,the maintainance of a constant transpiration during the day/nightcycle did not suppress the inhibition of NO3 uptake indarkness, whereas it almost prevented the dark increase in rootNO3 and Asn contents. These data strongly support theconclusion that the effect of light on NO3 uptake isnot mediated by changes in translocation and accumulation ofN compounds.

Regulation of Sulphate Transport in a Tropical Legume, Macroptilium atropurpureum, cv. Siratro 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

When young plants of Macroptilium atropurpureum, cv. Siratrowere deprived of external sulphate (-S plants) growth of shootsand roots continued at rates comparable to those in plants wellsupplied with sulphate (control) for 3 d and 5 d respectively.Dilution of internal sulphur therefore took place and redistributionof sulphur occurred between inorganic and organic forms andbetween roots and younger leaves. Even when S-deficiency limitedgrowth, plants contained 16% of their total sulphur as sulphate,but most of this was retained in old leaves and redistributedslowly to growing zones. The capacity for sulphate uptake increased in roots of Splants very soon after they were deprived of external sulphate;within 24 h the absorption from 0.25 mol m3 SO42was more than five times that of control roots. Maximum increasedcapacity was reached after 23 d stress when the Vmaxof system 1 was 1948 nmol h1g1root fr. wt. inS plants and 337 nmol h1g1root fr. wt.in controls. The Kmfor system 1 did not change significantlywith S-stress being between 58 µM in both setsof plants. Absorption of L-cysteine was not stimulated by S-stress. There was a close, positive relationship between plant growthrate and the rate at which sulphate uptake capacity was enhancedby withholding sulphate from culture solutions. When S plants were replaced in sulphate-containing solutiontheir capacity for SO42 declined to the control levelwithin 24 h. Very marked repression of capacity was also foundwhen S plants were treated with L-cysteine, but therewas no immediate effect with methionine. Roots of this species appear to have a very active system fordegrading L-cysteine to sulphate, 30% of the label in 35S-cysteineabsorbed by roots was recovered in 35SO42 after 20 minor 2 h incubation. By contrast, roots had a very weak abilityto reduce sulphate. When part of the root system was in solution lacking sulphatethere was enhanced uptake of sulphate by other parts which themselveswere amply supplied with sulphate. This is seen as an exampleof compensatory absorption. The response to S-stress is specific and there were no positiveinteractions between S-stress and the absorption of phosphate,or P-stress and the uptake of sulphate. The results are discussed in relation to the close control ofsulphate uptake by internal sulphate concentration, redistributionof forms of sulphur during stress and mobility of sulphate inthe phloem.

Influx and Efflux of Phosphorus in Roots of Wheat Plants in Non-Growth-Limiting Concentrations of Phosphorus 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
The regulation of net phosphorus uptake was studied in wheatplants at ambient non-growth-limiting P-concentrations. Wheat(Triticum aestivum cv. Klein Atalaya) seedlings were grown fromgermination in culture solutions containing 0.05, 0.5 and 5.0mol m3 phosphate. Only small increments in plant P-concentrationand specific accumulation rate for phosphorus were found whenambient P-concentration was increased 100 times. P-influx, estimatedby 32P-uptake, was markedly greater with increased externalP-concentration, but only small changes in Vmax and no changesin Km were found. Indirect estimation of P-efflux in a time-courseof 32P-uptake, and direct P-efflux measurements in washout experiments indicated that P-efflux markedly increasedin higher ambient P-concentration. The increase in P-effluxalmost completely neutralized the higher P-influx observed in5.0 mol m3 relative to 0.05 mol m3 phosphate.It is postulated that in non-limiting P-concentration net P-uptakeis mainly controlled by P-efflux.

Nitrate Uptake and Reduction of Aseptically Cultivated Spruce Seedlings, Picea abies (L.) Karst 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Spruce (Picea abies (L.) Karst.) seedlings were asepticallycultivated and the effects of different N-nutrition on net uptakeand reduction of nitrate were investigated. The characteristicsof nitrate uptake were calculated, Ks as 0?2 mol m3 andVmax as 18 µmol g1 d1. Low pH, and Al3+ in the medium caused adecrease in nitrate uptake rate. An in vivo assay was set upwhich allowed the measurement of NRA in both roots and needlesof spruce seedlings. The in vivo nitrate reductase activitywas repressed by ammonium and stimulated by nitrate. Nitratereduction was similar to nitrate uptake, negatively affectedby low pH and ammonium. Therefore, a limited N-supply to spruceseemed to occur when pH was low in the rhizosphere combinedwith the presence of Al3+ and . Key words: Spruce, nitrate uptake, nitrate reduction 相似文献

Ten-day old kidney bean plants (Phaseolus vulgaris L. cv. Shin-edogawa)were exposed to 2.0 and 40 parts 106 NO2, and0.1, 0.2, and 0.4 parts 106 O3 alone or in combinationfor 2, 4, and 7 d. The effects of these air pollutants wereexamined with respect to the growth, partitioning of assimilates,nitrogen uptake, soluble sugar content, and root respiration. Decreased dry matter production was significant with all treatmentsexcept 2.0 parts 106 NO2 and 0.1 parts 106 O3.Exposure to mixtures of the gases produced more severe suppressionof growth than exposure to the single gases. Root/shoot ratiowas significantly lowered at 7 d by the gas treatments otherthan 2.0 parts 106 NO2 and 0.1 parts 106 O3. Thetotal nitrogen content of plants was increased by all treatments;the higher percent of nitrogen found with O3 exposure will resultfrom the growth retardation which increases the concentrationof nitrogen in the plants because the absorption of nitrogenby roots was unaffected. The combination of O3 with NO2 significantlydecreased the assimilation of NO2 by the plants. The concentration of soluble sugars in roots was decreased bythe gas treatments. There was a strong positive correlationbetween soluble sugar content and dry weight of the roots harvestedat 7 d. Root respiration was relatively unchanged until 5 dand then decreased significantly at 7 d by 2.0 parts 106NO2 and 02 parts 106 O3. Retarded growth of theroots and the decreased root respiration may be due to diminishedtranslocation of sugars from leaves to roots caused by exposureto air pollutants. The uptake of soil nitrogen was not closelyrelated with root respiration in the case of O3 exposure. Key words: NO2, O3, Phaseolus vulgaris, Growth, Sugars, Root respiration 相似文献

The effect of light on NO3 utilization was investigatedin non-nodulated soybean (Clycine max L. Merr., cv. Kingsoy)plants during a 14/10 h light/dark period at a constant temperatureof 26C. A 3050% decrease of net NO3 uptake ratewas observed 26 h after the lights were turned off. Thiswas specifically due to an inhibition of NO3 influx asmeasured by 15N incorporation during 5 min. The absolute valuesof NO3 efflux depended on whether the labelling protocolinvolved manipulation of the plants or not, but were not affectedby illumination of the shoots. Darkness had an even more markedeffect in lowering the reduction of 15NO3 in both rootsand shoots, as well as xylem transport of 15NO3 and reduced15N. Concurrently with this slowing down of transport and metabolicprocesses, accumulations of NO3 and Asn were significantlystimulated in roots during the dark period. These data are discussedin view of the hypothesis that darkness adversely affects NO3uptake through specific feedback control, in response to alterationsin the later steps of N utilization which are more directlydependent on light.

Pacemaker potentials generated by interstitial cells of Cajal in the murine intestine 总被引:11,自引:0,他引:11
Pacemaker potentials were recorded in situ from myenteric interstitial cells of Cajal (ICC-MY) in the murine small intestine. The nature of the two components of pacemaker potentials (upstroke and plateau) were investigated and compared with slow waves recorded from circular muscle cells. Pacemaker potentials and slow waves were not blocked by nifedipine (3 µM). In the presence of nifedipine, mibefradil, a voltage-dependent Ca2+ channel blocker, reduced the amplitude, frequency, and rate of rise of upstroke depolarization (dV/dtmax) of pacemaker potentials and slow waves in a dose-dependent manner (130 µM). Mibefradil (30 µM) changed the pattern of pacemaker potentials from rapidly rising, high-frequency events to slowly depolarizing, low-frequency events with considerable membrane noise (unitary potentials) between pacemaker potentials. Caffeine (3 mM) abolished pacemaker potentials in the presence of mibefradil. Pinacidil (10 µM), an ATP-sensitive K+ channel opener, hyperpolarized ICC-MY and increased the amplitude and dV/dtmax without affecting frequency. Pinacidil hyperpolarized smooth muscle cells and attenuated the amplitude and dV/dtmax of slow waves without affecting frequency. The effects of pinacidil were blocked by glibenclamide (10 µM). These data suggest that slow waves are electrotonic potentials driven by pacemaker potentials. The upstroke component of pacemaker potentials is due to activation of dihydropyridine-resistant Ca2+ channels, and this depolarization entrains pacemaker activity to create the plateau potential. The plateau potential may be due to summation of unitary potentials generated by individual or small groups of pacemaker units in ICC-MY. Entrainment of unitary potentials appears to depend on Ca2+ entry during upstroke depolarization. pacemaker activity; slow waves; gastrointestinal motility; calcium channel 相似文献

We examined the NO3 and NH4+ uptake capabilities of thedinoflagellate Peridinium cinctum and of the accompanying nanoplanktonduring the spring P. cinctum bloom in Lake Kin-neret. Throughoutthe Peridinium season, the smaller algae had greater affinitiesand faster specific uptake rates for both NO3and NH4+It appears that P. cinctum cannot directly compete with nanoplanktonfor nitrogen nutrients. Other factors such as the ability ofdinoflagellates to swim freely in the water column and low grazingpressures may explain their dominance in the lake. 相似文献

The water-relations parameters of Chara inflata cells were determineddirectly using the micro pressure probe technique. The turgorpressure of cells in artificial pond water (0 = 0.06 MPa) wasabout 0.65 MPa and the half-time (T1/2) for water exchange wasabout 6.5 s. The calculated values of the hydraulic conductivity(LP) were in the range 12 ? 106m s1 (MPa)1.The volumetric elastic modulus () was 32.8 MPa for turgor rangingfrom 0.77 to 0.82 MPa. Large changes in the water-relations parameters and the electricalproperties of the membrane occurred when the turgor was decreasedto low values. These changes included: (i) a decrease in theT1/2 for water exchange, (ii) an increase in LP and (iii) depolarizationof the membrane potential difference (Vm). The micro pressure probe, which enabled the turgor pressureof the cell to be altered, was used in combination with thevoltage-clamp technique to determine the relationship betweenK+ and Cl conductances of the plasmalemma and the cellturgor. The K+ conductance increased reversibly as the turgorwas reduced in the range 0 to 0.6 MPa and the Cl -conductanceincreased as the turgor was reduced in the range 0.1 to 0.5MPa. It is suggested that these pressure-dependent K+ and Clconductances may have a dual role in electrical events and thenon-electrical responses such as changes in the cell volume.
