- 1.1. The behaviour of the Na efflux towards Li+ was studied using single barnacle muscle fibres as a preparation.
- 2.2. It is found that the Na efflux into Li+-ASW (artificial seawater) is reduced and that this effect is not fully reversed by returning back to Na+-ASW.
- 3.3. Preinjection of 100 mM-EGTA reduces the magnitude of the fall of the Na efflux into Li+-ASW.
- 4.4(a). The remaining Na efflux into Li+-ASW is further reduced by external application of 10−4 M-ouabain. (b) The remaining Na efflux in ouabain-poisoned fibres is reduced by replacing Nae by Li+. However, some fibres show a rise rather than a fall.
- 5.5. Fibres loaded with NaCl (by injection) show a prompt and sustained stimulation of the Na efflux when Nae is replaced by Li+. A similar but less pronounced response is often seen with ouabain-poisoned fibres.
- 6.6. Injection of LiCl (e.g. a 2 M-solution), causes a 20% fall in Na efflux. Subsequent replacement of Nae by Li+ fails to bring about a fall in the remaining efflux.
- 7.7. Itis concluded that the Na efflux in these fibres consists of a Na-Na exchange diffusion component which is not mediated by the Na-K pump and that its operation is interrupted by injecting Li+. The relative size of this component is about one-fifth and not one-half of the Na efflux.

Prostaglandin E release rates from isolated strips of guinea-pig taenia coli increased during exposure to zero K+ bathing fluid, from control values of per min to levels as high as 29.2 ng/per min. Release rates increased for 40–50 min and then remained constant or fell despite progressive increases in intracellular sodium [Nai+] or fall in intracellular potassium [Ki+]. Readmittance of K+ to the bathing solution resulted in rapid reversal of elevated prostaglandin E release rates. [Na+i] and [K+i] were markedly more abnormal in strips exposed to zero K+ for 70–201 min compared to 30-min exposures. Upon the readdition of K+ after long zero K+ exposure, the rate of prostaglandin E release fell long before [Na+i] and [K+i] returned to control levels. After K+ was readded to the bathing solution, the ion concentration of tissues exposed to zero K+ for 30 min returned to normal much more quickly than did those of tissues exposed for the longer time periods, yet the exponential rate constants for fall of prostaglandin E release rate after K+ was added were not significantly different after short or long zero K+ exposure. Thus there was a dissociation between the return of [Na+i] and [K+i] and the fall of prostaglandin E release rate to control levels. Ouabain augmented prostaglandin E release under conditions where [K+i] could not fall. Addition of known neurotransmitters present in this tissue to the bathing fluid did not augment prostaglandin E release. Guinea-pig taenia coli strips that had been incubated with [3H]arachidonic acid, constantly released [3H]arachidonic acid and [3H]prostaglandin E and a prostaglandin which cochromatographed with prostaglandin E but could not be converted to prostaglandin B by alkali and was shown to be 6-ketoprostaglandin F1α. Release of [3H]arachidonic acid and [3H]prostaglandin E plus 6-[3H]ketoprostaglandin F1α was increased when strips were exposed to zero K+. Data obtained in this study suggest the augmented prostaglandin E release seen during zero K+ or ouabain is related to increased availability of unbound arachidonic acid at the site of cyclooxygenase in the cell. Augmented prostaglandin E release is apparently not related to alterations in intracellular electrolyte concentrations or release of known neurotransmitters. 相似文献

This study describes the effects that prolonged dehydration has on ionic balance in Schistocerca gregaria. When adult locusts are dehydrated for 7 days the body weight reduces by 10–20% and the haemolymph volume by 35–50%, but haemolymph concentrations of Na+, K+ and Cl− change only slightly. On dehydration Na+ and Cl− are removed from the haemolymph; 25% of the removed ions is excreted and 75% is evenly distributed in the body of the locust. The amount of potassium excreted always exceeds that removed from the haemolymph. Mature adults control more effectively than young ones the haemolymph ionic composition during dehydration, but young adults show a smaller reduction in haemolymph volume. In the normal state of hydration, 76% of the total body Na+ and 56% of the total body Cl− is present in the haemolymph. These fall to 62 and 42% respectively on dehydration and increase to 77 and 50% on rehydration. 相似文献

Incubation of L1210 murine leukemia cells in vitro with 10 μM of the bifunctional alkylating agent bis(2-chloroethyl)methylamine (nitrogen mustard, HN2) for 10 min brought about a fall of more than 99.9% in their ability to form colonies when the cells were suspended in 0.5% nutrient agar. Incubation with HN2 also inhibited the influx of the potassium congener 86Rb+ to exponentially proliferating L1210 cells in a concentration-dependent manner. This inhibition was specific and was accounted for by a reduction of a diuretic-sensitive component of 86Rb+ influx, identified in the preceding paper (Wilcock, C. and Hickman, J.A. (1988) Biochim. Biophys. Acta 946, 359–367) as being mediated by a Na+/K+/Cl− cotransporter. Inhibition by 10 μM HN2 was complete after a 3-h incubation. There was no inhibition at this time of the ouabain-sensitive component of 86Rb+ influx, mediated by Na+/K+-ATPase. After 3 h of incubation with 10 μM HN2 there was also no change in the membrane potential of the treated cells as measured by the distribution of the [3H]TPMP+, no decrease in cellular ATP concentration and no change in intracellular pH, and the ability of the cells to exclude the vital dye Trypan blue was not significantly different from control values. These effects of HN2, therefore, appeared to follow lethal damage, but precede cell death. In the stationary phase of L1210 cell growth, the component of HN2 and diuretic-sensitive K+ influx to L1210 cells was reduced, whilst the component constituting the HN2-insensitive ouabain-sensitive sodium pump was increased. The monofunctional alkylating agent MeHN1 (2-chloroethyldimethylamine) which cannot cross-link cellular targets and has no antitumour activity, did not inhibit 86Rb+ influx to L1210 cells when incubated at equimolar or equitoxic concentrations to HN2. Intracellular potassium concentration was maintained close to control values of 138 ± 10 mM in HN2-treated cells because of an approx. 35% fall in cell volume. The results suggest that the Na+/K+/Cl− cotransporter is a selectively inhibitable target for HN2, and the lesion is discussed with reference to the cytotoxic effects of this agent. 相似文献

Summary The bulk of the intracellular potassium in mucosal epithelial cells from toad urinary bladder has been previously reported to exchange very slowly with the serosal medium, with a half-time of some 9 hr. This observation, based on chemical analyses of mucosal cell scrapings, has been reexamined with simultaneous diffractive and energy dispersive electron probe X-ray microanalysis. Fifty-three intracellular sites in hydrated sections and 286 sites in dehydrated sections were studied in bladders from eight toads under baseline conditions and after removal of serosal K+ for 83–133 min, with or without 10–2
m ouabain. The baseline data confirm and extend previous examinations of the intracellular ionic composition, and provide the most direct measure of intracellular water thus far available for this tissue. Removal of serosal K+ reduced the intracellular K+ content by 20%, increased intracellular Na+ content threefold, and slightly reduced the intracellular Cl– and water contents, qualitatively consistent with published chemical analyses. The intracellular Na+ content of mucosal origin, measured by radioactive tracers and chemical analyses of cell scrapings, has been reported to be unchanged under these conditions Simultaneous addition of ouabain and removal of external K+ produced a dramatic fall in intracellular K+ of more than 80% in a third of the cells and reduced the mean intracellular K+ content by 60%; 20% of the cells appeared to retain K+ more effectively than the bulk of the epithelial cell population. We conclude that: (i) the low rate of net exchange of intracellular K+ with the serosal bulk solution primarily reflects recycling of K+ across the basolateral membranes, (ii) radioactive tracer and chemical measurements of the intracellular Na+ pool of mucosal origin substantially underestimate the total intracellular Na+ content under certain experimental conditions, and (iii) the epithelial cells display a functional heterogeneity of response to the effects of adding ouabain and withdrawing external K+. 相似文献

The Pgp-1 antigen is expressed on early fetal thymocytes 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
The Pgp-1 glycoprotein is expressed on the bone marrow prothymocyte and on a class of intrathymic progenitor cells in the adult animal. Only 5% of adult thymocytes are strongly Pgp-1+. When fetal thymocytes of day 13–14 of gestation are examined by flow cytometric analysis, 80–90% of thymocytes are Pgp-1+, while the bulk of thymocytes are Thy-1–. By day 15–16, the percentage of Pgp-1+ cells begins to fall while nearly all cells become Thy-1+. Two-color immunofluorescence indicates that many Pgp-1+ cells are Thy-1+. The percentage of Pgp-1+ cells continues to fall over the next several days, reaching adult levels by day 19. These observations are consistent with the interpretation that at least some classes of thymocyte progenitors are Pgp-1+. 相似文献

We have investigated the effects of hyperpolarization and depolarization, and the presence of K+ and/or Ca2+, on 22Na+ influx into corn (Zea mays L.) root segments. In freshly excised root tissue which is injured, Na+ influx is unaffected by hyperpolarization with fusicoccin, or depolarization with uncoupler (protonophore), or by addition of K+. However, added Ca2+ suppresses Na+ influx by 60%. In washed tissue which has recovered, Na+ influx is doubled over that of freshly excised tissue, and the influx is increased by fusicoccin and suppressed by uncoupler. This energy-linked component of Na+ influx is completely eliminated by low concentrations of K+, leaving the same level and kind of Na+ influx seen in freshly excised roots. The K+-sensitive energy linkage appears to be by the carrier for active K+ influx. Calcium is equally inhibitory to Na+ influx in washed as in fresh tissue. Other divalent cations are only slightly less effective. Net Na+ uptake was about 25% of 22Na+ influx, but proportionately the response to K+ and Ca2+ was about the same.
The constancy of K+-insensitive Na+ influx under conditions known to hyperpolarize and depolarize suggests that if Na+ transport is by means of a voltage-sensitive channel, the rise or fall of channel resistance must be proportional to the rise or fall in potential difference. The alternative is a passive electroneutral exchange of 22Na+ for endogenous Na+. The data suggest that an inwardly directed Na+ current is largely offset by an efflux current, giving both a small net uptake and isotopic exchange.

Tamarisk (Tamarix spp.) is a halophyte with salt glands on its leaves and is an invasive riparian plant in the US. To increase our understanding of the effects of Tamarix on soil salinity, we conducted a year-long field investigation to evaluate the salt dynamics of a stand of Tamarix ramosissima along the lower Virgin River floodplain, NV, USA. We examined salt accumulation in the biomass and studied salt return to the soil by litter fall, throughfall and stemflow from September 2009 to September 2010. We also investigated soil salinity concentrations inside and outside of the stand where native shrub species was sparsely distributed. The average Na+ accumulated in the plant biomass was estimated at 23.4 g m?2. The Na+ returned to the soil through litter fall, throughfall and stemflow during the investigation was similar with that accumulated in the plant biomass. More than 90 % of Na+ leached to the soil was from throughfall and stemflow. Soil salinity was significantly lower inside than outside of the stand. Salt secretion from Tamarix is generally expected to increase soil salinity in stands. However, our results suggest that surface soil salinity does not necessarily increase in the Tamarix stand along the lower Virgin River floodplain that is subjected to occasional flooding. 相似文献

Characterization of malate dehydrogenase from the hyperthermophilic archaeon <Emphasis Type="Italic">Pyrobaculum islandicum</Emphasis> 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Native and recombinant malate dehydrogenase (MDH) was characterized from the hyperthermophilic, facultatively autotrophic
archaeon Pyrobaculum islandicum. The enzyme is a homotetramer with a subunit mass of 33 kDa. The activity kinetics of the native and recombinant proteins
are the same. The apparent K
m
values of the recombinant protein for oxaloacetate (OAA) and NADH (at 80°C and pH 8.0) were 15 and 86 μM, respectively, with
specific activity as high as 470 U mg−1. Activity decreased more than 90% when NADPH was used. The catalytic efficiency of OAA reduction by P. islandicum MDH using NADH was significantly higher than that reported for any other archaeal MDH. Unlike other archaeal MDHs, specific
activity of the P. islandicum MDH back-reaction also decreased more than 90% when malate and NAD+ were used as substrates and was not detected with NADP+. A phylogenetic tree of 31 archaeal MDHs shows that they fall into 5 distinct groups separated largely along taxonomic lines
suggesting minimal lateral mdh transfer between Archaea. 相似文献

Abstract: Effects of nigericin were investigated in rat brain synaptosomes, cultured neurons, and C6 glioma cells to characterize the relations among ATP synthesis, [Na+]i., [K+]i, and [Ca2+]i, and pH under conditions when [H+]i is substantially increased and transmembrane electrical potential is decreased. Intracellular acidification and loss of K+ were accompanied by enhanced oxygen consumption and lactate production and a decrease in cellular energy level. Changes in the last three parameters were attenuated by addition of 1 mM ouabain. In synaptosomes treated with nigericin, neither respiration nor glycolysis was affected by 0.3 μM tetrodotoxin, whereas 1 mM amiloride reduced lactate production by 20% but did not influence respiration. In C6 cells, amiloride decreased the nigericin-stimulated rate of lactate generation by about 50%. The enhancement by nigericin of synaptosomal oxygen uptake and glycolytic rate decreased with time. However, there was only a small reduction in respiration and none in glycolysis in C6 cells. Measurements with ion-selective microelectrodes in neurons and C6 cells showed that nigericin also caused a rise in [Ca2+], and [Na+]., The increase in [Na+], in C6 cells was partially reversed by 1 mM amiloride. It is concluded that nigericin-induced loss of K+ and subsequent depolarization lead to an increase in Na+ influx and stimulation of the Na+/K+ pump with a consequent rise in energy utilization; that acidosis inhibits mitochondrial ATP production; that a rise in [H+] does not decrease glycolytic rate when the energy state (a fall in [ATP] and rises in [ADP] and [AMP]) is simultaneously reduced; that a fall in [K+], depresses both oxidative phosphorylation and glycolysis; and that the nigericin-induced alterations in ion levels and activities of energy-producing pathways can explain some of the deleterious effects of ischemia and hypoxia. 相似文献

The dynamics of Na+, K+, and proline accumulation in various organs of non nodulated Vigna sinensis and Phaseolus aureus was followed during their acclimation to two levels of salinities for a period of 35 days and was correlated to the vegetative growth of the two species. The rate of Na+ and K+ absorption is at a maximum during the first 15 to 20 days of culture. K+ absorption is not completely inhibited even at 100 mM NaCl although the endogenous Na+ largely surpasses that of K+ in certain organs. Low salinity rather accelerates K+ absorption in both species. The relative growth rates (RGR) correlate with the rate of Na+ and K+ accumulation. At low salinity (10 mM NaCl), the RGR of V. sinensis is greater than that of P. aureus. However, at high salinity (100 mM NaCl) the RGR is the same for both species. The growth of the younger parts of the two species is not arrested by salt treatment. Very high accumulation of Na+ is avoided in organs with less vacuolated tissues. At no time does the endogenous K : Na ratio in these organs fall below 1.0. Certain organs, especially the roots, hypocotyls, and the lower parts of the stems are capable of storing large quantities of Na+. In V. sinensis, the accumulated Na+ and K+ are evenly distributed among the various organs while in P. aureus they are rather concentrated in the roots. External salinity creates water deficiency in the younger plant parts and as a consequence, proline accumulates especially in the youngest aerial organs - more in P. aureus than in V. sinensis. The accumulation of this amino acid in both the species is dependent on time and correlates directly, not only with the water deficit, but also with the K+ contents. In contrast, it does not seem to depend directly on the endogenous Na+ content. The relative salt tolerance of the two species and the possible role of K+, Na+ and proline in the osmotic adjustments of the two species under saline conditions are discussed. 相似文献

In this report, we consider the accumulation in roots, and transport to the shoot, of Na+ and K+ in intact lettuce plants (Lactuca sativa cv Black-seeded Simpson). Plants were grown in modified Hoagland medium supplemented with 10 moles NaCl per cubic meter. At this salinity, significant levels of Na+ were accumulated in roots and shoots, but there was no reduction in plant growth. Transport characteristics for both Na+ and K+ were qualitatively similar to those previously reported, for Spergularia marina, indicating that the results obtained with these experimental protocols are not limited to one unconventional experimental plant. The most pronounced difference in transport of the two ions was evident when transport was followed in a chase period after a 10 minute uptake pulse. For Na+, there was an initially rapid, but small, loss of label to the medium, and very little movement to the shoot. For K+, little label was lost from the plants, but translocation to the shoot proceeded for at least 60 minutes. The transport systems were further distinguished by treating the roots during labeling with 20 micrograms per milliliter cycloheximide. For K+, both uptake and translocation were reduced by about 50%. For Na+, root accumulation was stimulated more than five-fold, while transport to the shoot was reduced about 20%. Cycloheximide also modified the Na+ transport characteristics such that continued translocation occurred during the chase period of pulse-chase studies. 相似文献

Summary Plasma Na+, K+ and osmotic pressure were measured in rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri) following the administration of the prolactin-inhibiting substances Lergotrile and Bromocripton. Both drugs elicited a significant fall in plasma Na+ concentrations although a significant response to Bromocripton was apparent only in trout acclimated to distilled water.The changes in plasma Na+ levels and in some cases of plasma osmotic pressure following administration of the prolactin-inhibiting substances were consistent with the hypothesis that prolactin acts to maintain plasma Na+ levels in this salmonid species in the same manner as in other teleosts. However, since the changes in plasma ions were small (albeit significant) is is proposed that prolactin may play a less important role in osmotic and/or ionic regulation in this species than it does in other teleostean species. Conversely, it may be that the drugs effects a less complete blockage of prolactin secretion than they appear to do in mammals.Ovine prolactin, administered with the drugs, effected a partial retention of plasma Na+ in Lergotrile-injected fish but did not significantly modify the effect of Bromocripton. These findings are discussed in light of the proposed action of the drugs, namely that of inhibiting the release of endogenous prolactin.Both Bromocripton and Lergotrile caused a significant fall in hematocrit values. Since plasma osmotic pressure values and plasma K+ concentrations were not markedly affected by the drugs (except for a significant (P<0.01) reduction in plasma osmotic pressure in the Bromocriptons-injected groups maintained in distilled water) it was thought that these changes were due to a reduction in the number of blood cells in the peripheral circulation rather than to an influx of water in response to the inhibition of prolactin. 相似文献

Sealed tonoplast vesicles were isolated from single cells of Chara corallina with the aid of an intracellular perfusion technique in combination with a 3/10% Percoll two step gradient centrifugation. The isolated tonoplast fraction was free from plasmalemma and chloroplasts, and showed no activities of cytochrome c oxidase, and latent IDPase, but had about 10% of the NADH-cytochrome c reductase activity. The vesicles had both ATPase and PPase activities, which could be stimulated in the presence of 10 micromolar gramicidin by 170 and 130%, respectively, demonstrating the existence of sealed vesicles. Furthermore, ATP- and PPi-dependent H+ pumping through the membrane into the vesicles was shown. Both ATPase and PPase had pH optima around pH 8.5. At the physiological pH, 7.3, they still had more than 80% of their maximal activities. Ammonium molybdate, azide, and vanadate had no or little effect on the activities of both enzymes or their associated H+ pumping activities. N,N′-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide inhibited the ATPase strongly (I50 = 20 micromolar) but the PPase only weakly. The ATPase was also more sensitive to N-ethylmaleimide than the PPase. 4,4′-Stilbenedisulfonic acid affected both enzyme activities and their associated H+ pumping activities. This is in contrast to the H+-PPase of higher plants which is 4,4′-stilbenedisulfonic acid insensitive. 相似文献

We measured the activities of epithelial Na channels (ENaC) and ROMK channels in the distal nephron of the mouse kidney and assessed their role in the process of K+ secretion under different physiological conditions. Under basal dietary conditions (0.5% K), ENaC activity, measured as amiloride-sensitive currents, was high in cells at the distal end of the distal convoluted tubule (DCT) and proximal end of the connecting tubule (CNT), a region we call the early CNT (CNTe). In more distal parts of the CNT (aldosterone-sensitive portion [CNTas]), these currents were minimal. This functional difference correlated with alterations in the intracellular location of ENaC, which was at or near the apical membrane in CNTe and more cytoplasmic in the CNTas. ROMK activity, measured as TPNQ-sensitive currents, was substantial in both segments. A mathematical model of the rat nephron suggested that K+ secretion by the CNTe predicted from these currents provides much of the urinary K+ required for K balance on this diet. In animals fed a K-deficient diet (0.1% K), both ENaC and ROMK currents in the CNTe decreased by ∼50%, predicting a 50% decline in K+ secretion. Enhanced reabsorption by a separate mechanism is required to avoid excessive urinary K+ losses. In animals fed a diet supplemented with 3% K, ENaC currents increased modestly in the CNTe but strongly in the CNTas, while ROMK currents tripled in both segments. The enhanced secretion of K+ by the CNTe and the recruitment of secretion by the CNTas account for the additional transport required for K balance. Therefore, adaptation to increased K+ intake involves the extension of robust K+ secretion to more distal parts of the nephron. 相似文献

The effects of ethanol on physicochemical and enzymatic perturbations of neuronal membranes were examined. Using synaptic plasma membrane (SPM) isolated from cerebral cortex of Sprague-Dawley rats, a biphasic mode of action for ethanol was observed with (Na++K+)-ATPase, but not with Ca2+-ATPase or acetylcholinesterase. (Na++K+)-ATPase was found to be more sensitive to low concentration of sodium deoxycholate treatment than Ca2+-ATPase. A sharp transition break of (Na++K+)-ATPase activity in response to temperature changes was found with SPM preparation. Arrhenius plots of the response also indicated that (Na++K+)-ATPase is more sensitive to temperature changes than Ca2+-ATPase. The fluorescence polarization of TNS-membrane complex decreases as ethanol concentration increases, indicating an increase in membrane fluidity. However, ethanol, at low concentration (<0.3%) appears to elevate TNS fluorescence, but a hhigher concentration (3%) ethanol tends to lower the intensity of maximal emission. The results of this study indicate that ethanol may interact with the synaptic plasma membranes and elicit specific biochemical responses depending on the concentration of the alcohol used. 相似文献

The stimulation of ouabain-sensitive Na+ efflux by external Na+, K+ and Li+ was studied in control and ATP-depleted human red cells. In the presence of 5 mM Na+, with control and depleted cells, Li+ stimulated with a lower apparent affinity than K+, and gave a smaller maximal activation than K+. The ability of Na+, K+ and Li+ to activate Na+ efflux was a function of the ATP content of the cells. Relative to K+ both Na+ and Li+ became more effective activators when the ATP was reduced to about one tenth of the control values. At this low ATP concentration Na+ was absolutely more effective than K+. 相似文献

Activities of carbonic anhydrase and Na+,K+-ATPase in tissue homogenates and in subcellular fractions from different brain regions were studied in inherited primary hypothyroid (hyt/hyt) mice. The body weight, the weight of different brain regions, and the plasma thyroxine and triiodothyronine levels of hyt/hyt mice were significantly lower than those of the age-matched hyt/+ controls. In tissue homogenates of cerebral cortex, brain stem and cerebellum of hypothyroid mice, the activity of carbonic anhydrase (units/mg protein) was 59.2, 57.6, and 43.2%, and the activity of Na+,K+-ATPase (nmol Pi/mg protein/min) was 73.7, 74.4 and 68.7%, respectively, of that in corresponding regions of euthyroid littermates. The decrease in enzyme activity in tissue homogenates was also reflected in different subcellular fractions. In cerebral cortex and brain stem, carbonic anhydrase activity in cytosol, myelin and mitochondrial fractions of hypothyroid mice was about 45–50% of that in euthyroid mice, while in cerebellum the carbonic anhydrase activity in these subcellular fractions of hyt/hyt mice was only 33–38% of that in hyt/+ controls. Na+,K+-ATPase activity in myelin fraction of different brain regions of hyt/hyt mice was about 34–42% of that in hyt/+ mice, while in mitochondria, synaptosome and microsome fractions were about 44–52, 46–53, and 66–68%, respectively of controls. These data indicate that the activity of both carbonic anhydrase and Na+,K+-ATPase was affected more in the myelin than other subcellular fractions and more in the cerebellum than cerebral cortex and brain stem by deficiency of thyroid hormones. A reduction in the activity of transport enzymes in brain tissues as a result of thyroid hormone deficiency during the critical period of development may underlie permanent nervous disorders in primary hypothyroidism. 相似文献

The growth-promoting phytotoxin fusicoccin1 stimulates both [86Rb+]K+ uptake and H+-excretion from oat coleoptiles by at least 5-fold after a lag of less than 90 seconds. Both processes are affected similarly by metabolic inhibitors and external pH. FC appears to activate a K+H+ exchange which is only partly specific for K+, and which can transport more H+ than K+. The natural plant growth hormone indoleacetic acid1 also stimulates K+-uptake, but only after a long lag, and to a maximum of 30%, suggesting that IAA does not affect directly the K+H+ exchange process, and that the two hormones induce H+-excretion, and thus cell elongation, by different mechanisms. 相似文献
