In azuki bean (Azukia angularis = Vignia angularis) epicotylsections, 5 ? 10–4 M coumarin inhibited the incorporationof radioactivity from [U–14C]glucose into the cellulosefraction by 35% in the absence of indole-3-acetic acid (IAA)and by 40% in the presence of 1 ? 10–4 M IAA. There wasno inhibitory effect on the incorporation of radioactivity intothe other fractions. Coumarin at 5 ? 10–4 M reversed thepromoting effect of 1 ? 10–5 M gibberellin A3 (GA) andthe inhibitory effect of 1 ? 10–5 M kinetin on IAA-inducedelongation of sections with no significant effects on IAA-inducedelongation. Neither GA nor kinetin had any appreciable effectson cellulose synthesis. No inhibition of cellulose syntheiswas observed with 1 ? 10–3 M colchichine, which has beenreported to have effects similar to those of coumarin on GA-or kinetin-affected stem elongation. Coumarin at 5 ? 10–4M was ineffectual in breaking up wall microtubules, while adisrupting effect on wall microtubules was clearly demonstratedwith 3 ? 10–4M colchicine. From these results, the possible involvement of cellulose synthesisin cell expansion controlled by GA or kinetin was suggested. (Received August 3, 1973; )  相似文献

MARKS  T. C. 《Annals of botany》1978,42(1):181-190
Respiratory activity and seasonal changes in carbohydrate contentof the storage organs of Rubus chamaemorus L. have been investigated.Leaf dark respiration rate increases in a non-linear mannerfrom 0·7 mg CO2 evolved dm–2 h–1 at 0 °Cto 4·6 rng CO2 evolved dm–2 hh–1 at 30 °C.Root and rhizome respiration rates increase from 1 µ1O2 uptake g–1 fresh weight h–1 at 0.7 ° C to10 µ10, uptake g–1 f. wt h–1 at 20 °C.Rhizome carbohydrate reserves decline from a September peakof 33 per cent alcohol insoluble d. wt to 16 per cent in May. The circumpolar distribution of R. chamaemorus is discussedin relation to the evidence presented here and in the precedingpaper of the series.  相似文献

Effects of kinetin (K), gibberellin A3 (GA3), and 2-(chloroethyl)-trimethylammoniumchloride (CCC) on levels of alanine aminotransferase (GPT) andrates of protein synthesis were studied with both intact plantsand isolated leaf segments of Lolium temulentum L. In intactplants CCC stimulated and CA3 reduced GPT activity, the effectsbsing much greater in 8.h than in 16-h photoporiods. CCC showedmaximum stimulatory effects at 10–2 M and K at 5 x 105M. No effect of GA3 could be demonstrated with concentrationsup to 10–4M. Both K and CCC retarded GPT decline in leafsections, the latter without associated effects upon pigmentbreakdown. Cycloheximide was highly effective in reducing proteinsynthesis in leaf sections. A close correlation between rateof protein synthesis and GPT activity was found over an inhibitorconcentration range from 10–6 to 10–4 M. The resultsare discussed in terms of possible methods of in vivo regulationof GPT activity.  相似文献

The four major phospholipids occurring in diatoms, viz. phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidyl choline (lecithin), phosphatidyl ethanolamineand phosphatidyl inositol have been studied using radioactive32P-orthophosphate. Kinetic experiments show that phospholipidformation followed two different biosynthetic patterns in thelight and in the dark. Phosphatidyl glycerol was predominantlysynthesized in the light, when it exhibited a fast rate of turnoverof label. On the other hand, phosphatidyl ethanolamine appearedto be light-inhibited, and accumulated more in the dark. Cultures bubbled independently with oxygen-free nitrogen andCO2-free air and incubated in the light, showed more incorporationof radioactive orthophosphate into phospholipids than similarcultures bubbled with 3 per cent CO2 in air. Cells starved ofcarbon and phosphate appeared to utilize labelled phosphateintermediates and their phospholipid reserves as sources ofthese material respectively. DCMU (10–6 M) and DNP (10–4M) appreciably reduced the amount of 32P incorporated into phospholipids.In the absence of CO2, the inhibitor, DCMTJ did not effectivelyreduce the incorporation of 32P into phospholipids. It is suggestedthat photosystem I plays a dominant role in phospholipid synthesis.  相似文献

Aspects of the carbohydrate and nitrogen metabolism of Acerpseudcplatanus, L cell suspension cultures grown on a syntheticmedium containing 2 per cent glucose and 1.0 mg/l 2,4-dichlorophenoxyaceticacid and kinetin either at 0.25 mg/l (low kinetin) or at 2.5mg/l (high kinetin) are described. High kinetin inhibits growthas measured by increase in cell number, packed-cell volume,and cell dry weight. Although not inhibitory to glucose utdization,high kinetin inhibits the O2 uptake of the cells. Such cellscontain only a trace amount of fructose and their rate of O2uptake can be raised to that of the low kinetin cells by a periodof fructose feeding. The O2 uptake of both kinds of cell issensitive to malonate but the stimulation of O2 uptake inducedby bis(hexafiuoroacetonyl)-acetone (‘1799’) at 0.2mM is much less with the high-kinetin than the low-kinetin cells.The enzymes phosphoglucoseiseomerase and glucose-6-phosphatedehydrogenase are much less active in the high-kinetin cells.Mitochondria isolated from both kinds of cells show good respiratorycontrol although slightly lower values for QO2(N), ADP/O ratioand control ratio are recorded with mitochondria from the highkinetin cells. Kinetin at 2.5 mg/l slightly reduces the ADP/Oratio of isolated mitochondria but at 4.0 mg/l their responseto ADP is completely suppressed. Extracellular hemicelluloseformed in presence of high kinetin has a reduced content ofgalactose and xylose and an increased content of glucose. Theseobservations indicate that the inhibition of respiration byhigh kinetin is mainly due to suppression of glucose conversionto other sugars rather than to inhibition of glycolysis or terminalrespiration. High kinetin decreases the rate of protein but not of amino-acidsynthesis. Suppression of the synthesis of particular proteinsmay be an important factor responsible for the reduced cellyield of the cultures in presence of high kinetin. The significanceof these observations to our understanding of the critical metaboliceffects of cytokinina is discussed. Acer pseudoplatanus cells release amino acids into their culturemedium early in the period of batch culture and largely reabsorbthem as incubation proceeds.  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 30–50% decrease of net NO3 uptake ratewas observed 2–6 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.

Chemical Composition of Bleeding Xylem Sap from Kiwifruit Vines   总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5  
A study of the chemical composition and charge balance was madeof bleeding xylem sap collected from excised one-year-old extensionshoots of healthy, Mn-deficient, Mn-toxic and Zn-deficient kiwifruitvines (Actinidia deliciosa (A. Chev.) C. F. Liang et A. R. Ferguson)immediately prior to leafburst. The exudates were analysed formacronutrient cations and anions, trace elements, amino acids,organic acids and sugars. Major charged species measured wereCa (13.3 mM), K (8.9 mM), Mg (5.6 mM), malate (12.5 mM) andphosphate (5.8 mM). Glutamine (12 mM) was the predominant Ncarrier identified, accounting for 58 per cent of the totalN followed by NO2-N (4.5 per cent), NH4+-N (3.5 per cent)and arginine-N (2.9 per cent). Approximately 22 per cent ofthe N was in a hydrolysable proteinaceous fraction comprisingmainly glutamine and glutamate. Eighteen free proteinaceousamino acids were idetified in sap, the most abundant being glutamine,glutamic acid, valine, isoleucine and phenylalanine. Computersimulation of the chemical composition predicted that in additionto hydrated cations, ion pairs formed between inorganic components(SO42–, HPO42–, H2PO4) and cations (Ca2+,Mg2+, Mn2+), plus metal-organic ligand complexes (Ca Malate,Zn Malate, FeCit, CuHis, CuGln) are important species involvedin translocation. The solubility product of hydroxyapatite wasexceeded in all exudates although in vitro precipitation wasnot observed. To achieve electroneutrality with the componentsmeasured, however, formation of precipitate precursors (hydroxyapatitenuclei) had to be assumed. Irregularities in Mn nutrition (butnot Zn) were clearly indicated by the elemental compositionof exudate suggesting the use of sap analysis as a possiblepre-season indicator of nutritional status for this species.

5 x 10–5 M L-phenylalanine overcame the inhibitory effectof white light on cell division in artichoke callus culturesand increased extractable phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL)activity compared to cultures grown in the presence of 5 x 10–4M phenylalanine The lower concentration of the amino acid alsoenhanced rates of uptake and incorporation of 14C labelled phenylalaninethroughout G1 and S. Differences between the two concentrationswere greatest during S with a 4-fold increase in uptake anda 3-fold increase in incorporation It is suggested thereforethat the capacity of 5 x10–5 M phenylalanine to offsetthe light effect is due to an indirect stimulatory effect onamino acid and protein metabolism Increased levels of extractablePAL activity would then be reflected by this general stimulationof protein synthesis.

Intact chloroplasts were isolated from mesophyll and bundlesheath protoplasts of a C4 plant, Panicum miliaceum L., to measurethe uptake of [1-14C]pyruvate into their sorbitol-impermeablespaces at 4?C by the silicone oil filtering centrifugation method.When incubated in the dark, both chloroplasts showed similarslow kinetics of pyruvate uptake, and the equilibrium internalconcentrations were almost equal to the external levels. Whenincubated in the light, only mesophyll chloroplasts showed remarkableenhancement of the uptake, the internal concentration reaching10–30 times of the external level after 5 min incubation.The initial uptake rate of the mesophyll chloroplasts was enhancedabout ten fold by light and was saturated with increasing pyruvateconcentration; Km and Vmax were 0.2–0.4 mM and 20–40µmol(mg Chl)–1 h–1, respectively. The lightenhancement was abolished by DCMU and uncoupling reagents suchas carbonylcyanide-m-chlorophenylhydrazone and nigericin. Theseresults indicate the existence of a light-dependent pyruvatetransport system in the envelope of mesophyll chloroplasts ofP. miliaceum. The uptake activity of mesophyll chloroplastsboth in the light and the dark was inhibited by sulfhydryl reagentssuch as mersalyl and p-chloromercuriphenylsulfonate, but thebundle sheath activity was insensitive to the reagents. Thesefindings are further evidence for the differentiation of mesophylland bundle sheath chloroplasts of a C4 plant with respect tometabolite transport.

Dark uptake of inorganic 14C by offshore plankton was measuredat two depths at 36 stations in the Atlantic Ocean from 52°Sto 26°N, mainly along 30°W. The samples were incubatedfor 2 h with and without inhibition of biological activity withHgCl2. In addition, six time course experiments were performed.The mean dark uptake rate varied from 0.68 to 4.82 (µmolC m–3 h–1 over the transect and showed a significantpositive relationship with chlorophyll a. The dark uptake wasusually >5% of the maximum photosynthetic capacity (Pm),and higher values relative to Pm were associated with low valuesof Pm and not with high absolute dark values. A linear relationshipbetween dark uptake and Pm was found with a background value(y-axis intercept) of 0.51 (µmol C m–3 h–1and a slope of 0.77% of Pm. A major fraction of the dark signal,66–80% of the total signal, persisted in bottles treatedwith HgCl2, indicating that most of the dark signal was independentof biological activity. Time course experiments showed a lineardark uptake with time for the first hours, whereafter the uptakeceased. At stations with low concentrations of inorganic nitrogen[>1 (µmol (NH4++NO3)], a second stage was observedafter 3–8 h, probably due to an increase in bacterialactivity. The results suggest three mechanisms for the darkvalue in short-term incubations in oligotrophic waters. A backgroundvalue independent of biomass and incubation time which was thedominant part of the dark signal in samples with very low phytoplanktonbiomass (>0.3 p-g Chi a 1"). Another important part was residualsof 14C associated with plankton, probably adsorbed to compoundsinside the cells. This fraction was dominant in short-term incubationsat chlorophyll concentrations >0.3 p.g Chi a H. Active uptakeby living cells (total minus ‘HgCl2 uptake‘) wasonly a minor part of the dark signal in short-term incubations,but dominated at longer incubation time (>3–9 h), probablydriven by an increase in bacterial activity. A significant enhancementof the non-photosynthetic uptake of 14C was observed in light,probably associated with a carbon-concentrating mechanism inphytoplankton or light stimulation of ß-carboxylationactivity. The results strongly suggest that dark values shouldbe subtracted from the light uptake. This correction is particularlyimportant when photosynthetic rates are low, e.g. at low lightor in short-term incubations where a time-zero background becomesa significant part of the total uptake in light.

In whole filaments of Anabaena cylindrica dark nitrogen-fixingactivity (measured as acetylene reduction) and respiration increasedwith the light intensity of a fixed period of preillumination,saturating at ca. 10,000 lux. With saturating light during preillumination,the amount and duration of dark nitrogen-fixing activity increasedwith length of preillumination, but respiration declined rapidlyin the dark. At dark respiration rates below 250 nmol O2 uptake mg protein–1?h–1(State 1) no significant nitrogen-fixing activity is observed.From 250 to 550 nmol O2 uptake?mg protein–1?h–1(State 2), nitrogen-fixing activity depends on O2 uptake whileabove 550 nmol O2 uptake?mg protein–1?h–1 (State3), nitrogen-fixing activity no longer increases with furtherincrease in O2 uptake rate.

Mode of photosynthesis in Mesembryanthemum crystallinum changesfrom C3 to Crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) when the plantswere stressed with high salinity. [14C]Pyruvate uptake for 30s into intact chloroplasts isolated from leaves of the CAM modeof M. crystallinum was enhanced more than 5-fold in the lightcompared with that in the dark. The stromal concentration ofpyruvate in the light reached to more than 2.5 times of themedium. In contrast, little or no pyruvate uptake occurred inchloroplasts from C3 leaves in either light or dark condition.The initial uptake rate (10 s incubation at 4°C) into theCAM chloroplasts in the light was about 3-fold higher than therate in the dark. Km and Vmax of the initial uptake in the lightwere 0.54 mM and 8.5 µmol (mg Chl)–1 h–1 respectively.These suggest that pyruvate was actively incorporated into theCAM chloroplasts against its concentration gradient across theenvelope in the light. When hydroponically grown M. crystallinumwere stressed by 350 mM NaCl, the capacity of chloroplasts forpyruvate uptake was induced in 6 d corresponding to the inductionof the activities of PEP-carboxylase and NAD(P)+-malic enzymesin response to salt stress.

We examined the effect of pretreatments (18 h at 5 µmoldm–3) with abscisic acid, the ethylene-releasing substance‘Ethephon’, gibberellic acid, indoleacetic acid,kinetin and zeatin on nitrate uptake and in vivo nitrate reductaseactivity (NRA) in roots of nitrogen-depleted Phaseolus vulgarisL. Nitrate uptake showed an apparent induction pattern witha steady state after about 6 h, in all treatments. The nitrateuptake rate after 6 h was unaffected or at most 30% lower aftertreatments with the plant growth regulators. Gibberellic acid, kinetin and zeatin induced substantial NRAin roots in the absence of nitrate, whereas Ethephon enhancedNRA only during nitrate nutrition. Kinetin-induced NRA (Ki-NRA)was maximal after a pretreatment at 1 µmol dm–3,and showed a lag phase of 6–8 h. Ki-NRA was additive tonitrate-induced NRA (NO3-NRA) for at least 24 h, independentof the induction sequence. After full induction, Ki-NRA approximated20% of NO-3-NRA. Abscisic acid counteracted the developmentof Ki-NRA, but not of NO3-NRA. Cycloheximide and tungstatewere equally effective to suppress the development of nitratereductase activity after supply of kinetin or NO3. Our data are consistent with the operation of two independentenzyme fractions (Ki-NRA and NO3-NRA) with apparentlyidentical properties but with separate control mechanisms. Theabsence of major effects of plant growth regulators on the time-courseand rate of nitrate uptake suggests that exogenous regulators,and possibly endogenous phytohormones are of minor importancefor initial nitrate uptake. The differential effect of someregulators on nitrate uptake and root NRA furthermore indicatesthat the processes of uptake and reduction of NO3 arenot obligatory or exclusively coupled to each other.  相似文献

Cylinders of pith of Nicotiana tabacum var. Wis. 38 were asepticallyisolated and grown on a mineral-sucrose medium in the presenceand absence of either kinetin or zeatin. On medium containing kinetin (5x106M) the increase in the residualdry weight of cylinders was greater than that on control mediumafter 2 d culture and this was maintained at 5 d. At 2, 5, and7 d there were increments in the DNA and RNA levels of cylindersdue to kinetin treatment and these increased progressively. A double-labelling method coupled with acrylamide gel electrophoresiswas used to study the effects of kinetin at 5 x 10–6Mand zeatin at 10–6 M on the incorporation of radioactiveprecursors into the RNA of cylinders given a 4-h label pulse.No effects of zeatin were observed after 1 d nor of kinetinat 2 d but after 4 d zeatin stimulated incorporation into ribosomal,transfer and poly-disperse RNA and kinetin did likewise after5 d. Incorporation measured at 7 d was reduced in cylindersfrom which kinetin had been removed at 5 d compared to thoseto which it had been supplied continuously. Scans at 260 run of the electrophoretic fractionations of RNAafter 2, 5, 7, and 9 d of culture showed that both in the absenceand in the presence of kinetin the proportion of 4S RNA increasedfrom about 20 per cent to over 50 per cent of the total between2 and 5 d of culture and after 5 d the ribosomal RNA gave aberrantscans apparently indicative of degradation. These aberrant scanspersisted in RNA extracted after 27 d culture in both the presenceand absence of kinetin.  相似文献

The use of chlorate as an analogue for NO3 during nitrateuptake into Chara corallina cells has been investigated. NO3inhibits 36C1O3 influx into Chara over the concentrationrange 0–1000 mmol m–3. Lineweaver-Burke plots ofthe data are characteristic of competitive inhibition by NO–3in the low concentration range (0–300 mmol m–3 ClO3)and apparent KINO3 is 140 mmol m–3 which is of a similarorder of magnitude as apparent KmCIO3- 180 mmol m–3. Athigher substrate concentrations the inhibition by NO3was not characteristic of competitive or uncompetitive inhibition. 36C1O3/NO3 influx was dependent on K+ and Ca2+in the external medium and inhibited by FCCP. NO3 pretreatmentor N starvation increased subsequent 36C1O3/NO3influx into Chara. A comparison between rates of net NO3uptake and 36C1O3/NO3 influx supported the previoushypothesis that NO3 efflux is an important componentin the determination of overall uptake rates.

1) The wavelength effects on 14CO2-fixation by Chlorella cellswere studied, using monochromatic light of different light intensities. 2) Blue light (453 mµ) stimulated the incorporation of14C into aspartate, glutamate and malate. Red light (679 mµ),on the other hand, stimulated its incorporation into P-esters,free sugars and insoluble material. 3) The blue light effect was observed in the presence of CMUat concentrations completely suppressing ordinary photosyntheticCO2-fixation. 4) The blue light effect in the presence of CMU was inducedat very low intensities. At 453 mµ, 300 erg cm–2sec–1 was sufficient for complete saturation. 5) Time courses of 14C-incorporation into individual compoundswere investigated. Irrespective of the wavelength of the illuminatinglight, the first stable CO2-fixation product formed under weaklight (400–500 erg cm–2 sec–1) was citrulline.At higher light intensities (4,000–7,000 erg cm–2sec–1), PGA was the first stable CO2-fixation product.The incorporation of 14C into citrulline was not inhibited byCMU. 6) Experimental results indicate that both blue light-inducedincorporation of 14C into amino and organic acids and the incorporationof 14C into citrulline induced by low intensity light are operatedby a mechanism(s) independent of ordinary photosynthetic CO2-fixation.Possible effects of light regulating the carbon metabolism inalgal cells are discussed.

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.

Guttation was used as a non-destructive way to study the flowof water and mineral ions from the roots and compared with parallelmeasurements of root exudation. Guttation of the leaves of barley seedlings depends on age andon the culture solution. Best rates of guttation were obtainedwith the primary leaves of 6- to 7-day-old seedlings grown onfull mineral nutrient solution. The growing leaf tissue becomessaturated with K+ below 1.5 mM K+ in the medium, whereas K+concentration in the guttated fluid still increases furtheras K+ concentration in the medium is raised. At 3 mM K+ averagevalues of guttation were 1.4–2.4 mm3 h–1 per plantwith a K+ concentration of 10–20 mM; for exuding plantsthe flow was 4.2–7.6 mm3 h–1 per plant and K+ concentration35–55 mM. Abscisic acid (ABA) at 10–6 to 10–4 M 0–2h after addition to the root medium increased volume flow ofguttation and exudation and the amount of K+ exported. Threeh after addition of ABA both volume and amount of K+ were reduced.There was an ABA-dependent increase in water permeability (Lp)of exuding roots shortly after ABA addition. Later Lp was decreasedby 35 per cent and salt export by 60 per cent suggesting aneffect of ABA on salt transport to the xylem apart from itseffect on Lp. Benzyladenine (5 x 10–8 to 10–5 M)and kinetin (5 x 10–6 M) progressively reduced volumeflow and K+ export in guttation and exudation and reduced Lp. Guttation showed a qualitatively similar response to phytohormonesas found here and elsewhere using exuding roots.

The effects of night-time temperature, leaf-to-air vapour pressuredeficit (VPD) and water stress on CO2 recycling in Bromeliahumilis Jacq. grown under two light and nitrogen regimes wereinvestigated. At night-time temperatures above 30°C, integratednet dark CO2 uptake was severely reduced and CO2 for malatesynthesis was mainly derived from dark respiration. At 35°C,up to 84% of the CO2 liberated by dark respiration was refixedinto malic acid. Below 30 °C only nitrogen deficient plantsshowed significant recycling. No significant differences wereobserved between high and low light grown plants in CO2 recycling.A doubling of leaf-to-air VPD from 7-46 Pa kPa–1 to 15.49Pa kPa–1 resulted in a 2- to 20-fold decrease in leafconductance and about 50 to 65% reduction in integrated darkCO2 uptake. However, about twice as much CO2 was recycled atthe higher VPD as in the lower. Ten days of water stress resultedin 80 to 100% recycling of respiratory CO2. Under high VPD andwater stress treatments, the amount of water potentially savedthrough recycling of CO2 reached 2- to 6-fold of the actualtranspiration. In general, nitrogen deficient plants had higherper cent recycling of respiratory CO2 in response to high night-timetemperature, increased VPD or water stress. The results emphasizethe ecological relevance of carbon recycling in CAM plants. Key words: Bromelia humilis, CAM, PPFD, dark respiration, temperature, VPD, water stress  相似文献

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 g–1 FW h–1.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.
