An increase of cytosolic Ca2 in the
unicellular green alga Eremosphaera viridis activities
Ca2-dependent
K channels causing a hyperpolarization of
the plasma membrane. Data from parallel calcium, and potential measurements
were combined with I/V relationships. This yielded a
steep Ca2-dependence of
K channels with a co-operativity of 4 and
an affinity of 300 nM.Key words: Eremosphaera viridis,

Smith, J. R. 1987. Potassium transport across the membranesof Chara. II. 42K fluxes and the electrical current as a functionof membrane voltage.J. exp. Bot. 38: 752777. The current required to clamp the trans-membrane voltage ofinternodal cells of Chara australis at different levels wasmeasured simultaneously with either the 42K influx or efflux.Examination of the voltage-dependence of the ratio of the electricalcurrent to the unidirectional tracer fluxes yielded no evidenceof any amplification of the electrical driving force on theK+ ions. There was thus no evidence for the interaction of K+ions with themselves or any other species during their passageacross the membrane. These measurements allow the determinationof , the fraction of the electrical current carried by K+ ions.When the external [K+] = 10 mol m3, the average valueof was 0?85 for Vm > 125 mV and 07?5 for Vm <150 mV. When the external [K+] = 0?1 mol m3, was 0?6 for Vm < 80 mV and 0?1 for Vm > 250mV. It was also found that the conductance associated with K+transport was inhibited by hyperpolarization.

The involvement of Na+, K+,
Cl- or Ca2+ in the regulation
of salinity stress-induced proline accumulation via the inhibition of the
activity of proline dehydrogenase (PDH; EC 1.4.3.1), a catabolic enzyme of
proline, was investigated in the marine green macroalga Ulva
fasciata Delile. After 6 h of exposure to elevated artificial
seawater (ASW) salinity, adjusted either by increasing the NaCl content in
30 ASW (a change in ion ratio) or by concentrating ASW (a
constant ion ratio), the contents of Na+,
K+ and Cl- linearly
accumulated with increasing salinity from 30-90 (parts per
thousand); the accumulation pattern of each ion was similar between the two
treatments. An increase in NaCl content in ASW induced proline
accumulation, but decreased both the PDH activity and the total
water-soluble Ca2+ contents, while concentrated ASW
had no effect. As compared to a constant value at 30, both the
contents of total and water-soluble CA2+ and the
activity of PDH decreased 1 h after exposure to 60 (adjusted by
increasing NaCl content in 30 ASW) and concomitantly the
content of seawater Ca2+ increased, while proline
accumulated after 3 h. The addition of 15 mM ethylene
glycol-bis-(2-aminoethyl ether)
N,N,N-tetraacetic acid (EGTA) in
60 ASW (adjusted by increasing the NaCl content in
30 ASW) enhanced both the proline accumulation and the decrease
in the content of total and water-soluble cellular
Ca2+ and the activity of PDH; the effects of EGTA
were reversed by 10 mM CaSO4. These results indicate that a loss of
cellular Ca2+ is associated with the NaCl induction
of proline accumulation via an inhibition of PDH activity in U.
fasciata. 相似文献

In a companion paper several methods of calculating the marginal unit water
cost of plant carbon gain (E/A) were tested to determine
whether stomata were behaving optimally in relation to regulating leaf gas
exchange. In this paper one method is applied to several tropical tree
species when leaf-to-air vapour pressure difference (D), photosynthetic
photon flux density, leaf temperature, and atmospheric soil water
availability were manipulated. The response of leaves that had expanded
during the dry season were also compared to that of leaves that had
expanded in the wet season. Few differences in absolute value of
E/A, or the form of the relationship, were observed
between species or between seasons. In the majority of species,
E/A increased significantly as either leaf-to-air vapour
pressure difference increased, at a leaf temperature of either 33C or 38C, or as in
photosynthetic photon flux density increased. In contrast, as leaf
temperature increased at constant D, E/A was generally
constant. As pre-dawn water potential declined, E/A
declined. The relationship between E/A and D did not
differ whether internal or ambient carbon dioxide concentration were kept
constant. It is concluded that stomata are only behaving optimally over a
very small range of D. If a larger range of D is used, to incorporate
values that more closely reflect those experienced by tropical trees in a
savanna environment optimization is incomplete.Key
words: Stomatal optimization theory, marginal unit water cost.

The daily cycle of the transpiration rate, stomatal conductance,water potential, and the concentration of the main osmoticumidentified in ash leaves, malate and mannitol, were monitoredin a field on the Isere river plain. On sunny days, the stomatalconductance tends to remain close to its maximun value allowinga high transpiration rate and diurnal variations in leaf waterpotential, w, which may fall as low as 2 MPa at solarnoon. These variations of w are closely correlated with changesin malate, mannitol and the concentration of the well-knownosmoticum K+, which agree with the involvement of an osmoticadjustment to counteract the evaporative demand during daylighthours. How malate, mannitol and K+ contribute to the osmoticadjustment was analysed subsequently by comparing the solutepotential s, evaluated by the Boyle-Van't Hoff relation, tothe osmotic potential measured by thermocouple psychrometry.These experiments have led us to suspect some errors in themeasurement of , presumably due to experimental artefacts andthe ability of Ca 2+ , present in high levels in leaves, toform chelates with malate once the cells have been decompartmentedby freezing and thawing. Since significant changes of Ca2+ alsooccurred during the diurnal variations of w, the possible mechanismsby which Ca2+ may be implicated in controlling the water statusof the tree are discussed.

The FV channel dominates the ion conductance of the vacuolar membrane at
physiological Ca2+ concentrations. Patch-clamp

mesophyll vacuoles and on excised tonoplast patches showed small
differences in a selectivity sequence NH4+ >
K+ Rb+
Cs+ >Na+
>Li+. Less permeant cations decreased the
open probability. The FV channel allows the uptake of small monovalent

The euryhaline charophyte Lamprothamnium papulosum (Wallr.)J. Gr. was adapted to media with decreasing salinities rangingfrom 550 to 0 mosmol kg1. Vegetative plants grown inmedia with osmotic pressures (0) in the range of 550 to 130mosmol kg1 maintained a constant turgor pressure () at309 + 7 mosmol kg1. The ions K+, Na+ and Cl, werethe predominant solutes in the vacuole. Changes in their concentrationsaccount for the variation in internal osmotic pressure (1) with,0. The divalent ions Mg2+, Ca2+ and were also present in significant amounts, but their concentrationsdid not alter with changes in, 0. In cells subjected to hypo-osmotic shock the regulation of was incomplete. The turgor pressure increased from 302 to 383mosmol kg1. The first rapid response to the sudden decreasein 0 was a loss of K+ and Cl. In contrast to the decreasein ionic concentrations an accumulation of sucrose occurredwhich could account for the increase of . The increase in sucroseconcentration started 24 to 48 h after the downshock and reachedits highest value after 3 to 4 weeks. The sucrose concentrationin the vacuole was up to 320 mol m3. During this timethe ionic content continued to decrease but did not counterbalancethe sucrose concentration sufficiently to regain the original. High sucrose levels accompanied by an enhanced were also observedduring the period of fructification (sexual reproduction: formationof antheridia and oogonia) in Lamprothamnium kept under conditionsof constant salinity. It is concluded that high sucrose content and elevated arecharacteristic of sexual reproduction in this charophyte. Lamprothamniumis able to tolerate different during various developmentalstages (e.g. vegetative and reproductive phases). Key words: Lamprothamnium papulosum, sucrose, turgor pressure 相似文献

The Meaning of Matric Potential 总被引:6,自引:1,他引:5
The commonly used equation, = P - + , which describes thepartitioning of plant water potential, , into components ofhydrostatic pressure, P, osmotic pressure, , and matric potential,, is misleading. The term , which is supposed to show the influenceof a solid phase on , is zero if a consistent definition ofpressure is used in the standard thermodynamic derivation. However,it can be usefully defined by = + D, where D is the osmoticpressure of the equilibrium dialysate of the system. The practicaland theoretical significance of this definition is discussed. 相似文献

An error occurs in the calibration of xylem pressure potential() against leaf-water potential () when the calibration is madeusing plant material in which the water stress has been inducedartificially after excision. The impostion of water stress afterexcision affects the determination more than it affects , consequentlythe relationship between these two indices of water stress isaltered. Care should be exercised to ensure that identical proceduresare adopted during . calibrations and during susbsequent fieldmeasurements of with the pressure-chamber apparatus. 相似文献

E. 1987.Comparison of the effects of root temperature on nitrate andammonium nutrition of oilseed rape (Brassica napusL.) in flowingsolution culture. II. Cation-anion balance.J. exp. Bot.38: 1589-1602. The effects of root temperature and form of N nutrition (NH4or NOJ) on the mineral composition of the plant, the balanceof inorganic cation-anion uptake and on the apparent net effluxof H +/OHions from the roots were studied with 49-d-oldoilseed rape (Brassica napusL. cv. Bien venu) in flowing solutionculture. Plants were pre-treated for 14 d at a root temperatureof 5 °C prior to constant root temperatures of 3, 7, 11or 17°C for 14 d, with a common shoot temperature of 20/15°Cday/night. Nitrogen was supplied as NH+44 or NO3 at 10mmol m3. Values of Q10 (7-17°C) for mean unit absorptionrates of all the major nutrient ions (K+ , Mg++ , NH+4, SO4,H2PO4, NO3), except Ca++, were > 2.0 over the first 5 d oftreatment but thereafter were < 1.5; the apparent effectof temperature on uptake rates diminished with time. Under NH+4nutrition, inorganic cation uptake (Mg+ + + K++Ca+ + +NH+4)exceeded inorganic anion uptake (SO4 4+ H2PO4) over 14d at all temperatures, with the proportion of cation uptakeas NH4 remaining constant (0.67-0-68) irrespective of root temperature.The net efflux of H + from the roots approximately balancedNH+4 uptake (1:1) over 14 d at each temperature and also balancedthe difference between the total uptake of inorganic cationsand inorganic anions. Under NO3 nutrition, the sum of the netefflux of OH and the change in the carboxylate contents of plantsover 14 d approximately balanced the sum of NO3 and SO 4reduced in the plant. The majority of the negative charge associatedwith the reduction of NO3 and SO 4 was apparently effluxedas OH, but this fraction was lower at low root temperatures.The results are discussed in terms of mechanisms that have beenproposed to regulate the internal pH of plants.

A karyopherin (LeKAP1) cDNA was isolated from tomato
plants. The deduced LeKAP1 protein sequence of 527 amino acids
showed similarity to other plant karyopherin proteins. When
LeKAP1 was expressed in a yeast two-hybrid
system together with the gene coding for the capsid protein (CP) of the
tomato yellow curl leaf virus (TYLCV), it interacted directly with CP.
Thus, LeKAP1 may be involved in the nuclear import of TYLCV CP
and, potentially, the TYLCV genomes during viral infection of the host
tomato cells. 相似文献

In recent years alternative ways have been proposed to transformmeasurements of leaf water potential, , and relative water content,R*, in order to derive values of osmotic pressure at full turgidityin leaves and shoots, o(when 0). Two types of transformationsare usually considered: 1/ versus R* and versus 1/R*, and linearregression is used to fit the data in the region where turgoris thought to be zero. It appears that when o is estimated bylinear extrapolation of 1/Psi; versus R* then apoplastic watermight not influence the accuracy of o but when the versus \/R*transformation is used apoplastic water causes an underestimateof o. We examine the accuracy of the estimate of o obtainedfrom the two transformations when there are random errors in, systematic errors in , and when the osmotic solutions arenon-ideal. The 1/ versus R* transformation generally producesthe best estimate of 0 by linear extrapolation. 相似文献

Effects of Priming and Endosperm Integrity on Seed Germination Rates of Tomato Genotypes: II. GERMINATION AT REDUCED WATER POTENTIAL 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Seed germination rates (GR =inverse of time to germination)are sensitive to genetic, environmental, and physiological factors.We have compared the GR of tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.)seeds of cultivar T5 to those of rapidly germinating L. esculentumgenotypes PI 341988 and PI 120256 over a range of water potential(). The influence of seed priming treatments and removal ofthe endosperm/testa cap enclosing the radicle tip on germinationat reduced were also assessed. Germination time-courses atdifferent 's were analysed according to a model that identifieda base, or minimum, allowing germination of a specific percentage(g) of the seed population (b(g)), and a hydrotime constant(H) indicating the rate of progress toward germination per MPa.h.The distribution of b(g) determined by probit analysis was characterizedby a mean base (b) and the standard deviation in b among seeds(b). The three derived parameters, b, b) and H, were sufficientto predict the time-courses of germination of intact seeds atany . A normalized time-scale for comparing germination responsesto reduced is introduced. The time to germination at any (tg())can be normalized to be equivalent to that observed in water(tg(0)) according to the equation tg(0)=[l(/b(g))]tg().PI 341988 seeds were more tolerant of reduced and had a morerapid GR than T5 seeds due to both a lower b and a smaller H.The rapid germination of PI 120256, on the other hand, couldbe attributed entirely to a smaller H. Seed priming (6 d in1.2 MPa polyethylene glycol 8000 solution at 20 ?C followedby drying) increased GR at all >b(g), but did not lower theminimum allowing germination; i.e. priming reduced H withoutlowering b. Removing the endosperm/testa cap (cut seeds) markedlyincreased GR and lowered the mean required to inhibit germinationby 0.7 to 0.9 MPa. However, this resulted primarily from downwardadjustment in b during the incubation of cut seeds at low inthe test solutions. The difference in b between intact and cutseeds incubated at high was much less (0.l MPa), indicatingthat at the time of radicle protrusion, the endosperm had weakenedto the point where it constituted only a small mechanical barrier.In the intact seed, endosperm weakening and the downward adjustmentin embryo b ceased at < 0.6 MPa, while the reductionin H associated with priming proceeded down to at least 1.2MPa. Based on these data and on the pressure required to pushthe embryos from the seeds at various times after imbibition,it appears that the primary effect of priming was to shortenthe time required for final endosperm weakening to occur. However,as priming increased GR even in cut seeds, priming effects onthe embryo may control the rate of endosperm weakening.

Natural abundance of 15N in amino acids and polyamines from leguminous nodules: unique 15N enrichment in homospermidine 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
The natural 15N abundance
(15N value) in acetylpropyl derivatives of
amino acids and in ethyloxycarbonyl derivatives of polyamines was
determined using a gas chromatography/combustion/mass
spectrometer-(GC/C/MS). 15N value
determined for 12 amino acids and five polyamines by GC/C/MS were identical
to those obtained by a direct combustion method using an automatic nitrogen
and carbon analysis (ANCA) mass spectrometer, the difference being less
than 1.0% in most cases. The GC/C/MS
method was used to analyse 15N values in
the amino acids and polyamines from root nodules of pea and faba bean and
from stem nodules of Sesbania rostrata. The analysis
of 15N values revealed that homospermidine
had high 15N values, as much as +40%, while
the amino acids investigated had 15N values
between -3 and +6%, putrescine between +2 and +8%, cadaverine between +1
and +7%, spermidine between -2 and +4%, and spermine between 0 and +6%. The
mechanism of 15N enrichment in homospermidine is
discussed. 相似文献

Changes in the concentrations of K+ and Cl occur in parallelduring turgor regulation, and account for the changes in osmoticpressure. Thus it is impossible to single out one ion whoseconcentration is directly controlled by a turgor regulatorymechanism. After an increase in external osmolality (o) of 400mosmol kg1, turgor is restored to its normal value in45 d. The response to a decrease in o is much more rapid,with most of the change in 1 occurring in the first 2 h. Apparentcytoplasmic concentrations of sucrose are similar to vacuolarconcentrations, and increase slightly with increasing 1. 相似文献

With the aim of determining the level at which ageing exerts its effect on
the expression of -amylase, GA3 regulation
of -amylase production was studied in
isolated aleurone layers from aged wheat seeds. GA3-induced
-amylase activity was lower in the tissue from aged seeds than in
controls. However, the proportion of 35S-methionine
incorporated into -amylase was higher in the aged than in control
tissue. The pattern of -amylase isoforms was resolved by
isoelectric focusing and showed that two isogroups were present with the
activity of the high-pI isogroup being higher in the control than in the
aged lot. These apparently contradictory results may be explained in terms
of differences in isozyme expression. Studies on the expression of
-amylase genes indicated a reduction in the level of high-pI mRNA
in aged tissue. Dose-response curves showed lower GA3-responsiveness of
aleurone layers from aged seeds as compared to the controls. From these
results, it is proposed that the diminished capacity of -amylase
production in aleurone from aged seeds is apparently due to a decrease in
the expression of the high-pI -amylase genes, and this reduction
is associated with a decrease in the response to GA3.Key
words: Seed ageing, wheat aleurone, gibberellic acid,
-amylase isozymes, gene expression.

Changes in components of leaf water potential during soil waterdeficits influence many physiological processes. Research resultsfocusing on these changes during desiccation of peanut (Arachishypogeae L.) leaves are apparently not available. The presentstudy was conducted to examine the relationships of leaf waterl, solute s and turgor p potentials, and percent relative watercontent (RWC) of peanut leaves during desiccation of detachedleaves and also during naturally occurring soil moisture deficitsin the field. The relationship of p to l and RWC was evaluated by calculatingp from differences in l and s determined by thermocouple psychrometryand by constructing pressure-volume (P-V) curves from the land RWC measurements. Turgor potentials of Early Bunchand Florunner leaves decreased to zero at l of1.2 to 1.3 MPa and RWC of 87%. There were no cultivardifferences in the l at which p became zero. P-V curves indicatedthat the error of measuring s after freezing due to dilutionof the cellular constituents was small but resulted in artefactualnegative p values. Random measurements on two dates of l, s, and calculation ofp from well-watered and water-stressed field plots consistingof several genotypes indicated that zero p occurred at l of1.6 MPa. It was concluded that the relationships of p,l, s, and RWC of peanut leaves were similar to leaves of othercrops and that these relationships conferred no unique droughtresistance mechanism to peanut. 相似文献

The translocation of various anions, cations, and acids acrossthe membrane system of turnip mitchondria has been investigatedby light scattering techniques. The results imply that the membranesof turnip mitochondria are not permeable to choline, K+, Na+,, , , and . It has been established that Cl,, and SCN passively permeate the mitochondrial membrane. It is probable that permeates as NH3 and that and cross the membrane either as the corresponding acid or on ananion/ hydroxide antiporter. The alkali metals Na+ and K+ equilibrateacross the membrane via specific H+/Na+ and H+/K+ antiporters,having similar activity at neutral pH. 相似文献

Aspects of the water relations of spring wheat (Triticum aestivumL.) are described for cultivars Highbury (low ABA) and TW269/9(high ABA), and low and high ABA accumulating F6selections derivedfrom a cross between them. In a pot experiment, pressure-volume (P-V) curves were constructedfor main stem leaf four (MSL4) of well-watered plants of Highburyand TW269/9. Estimates of solute potential (2) from these curveswere similar for the two cultivars, but varied with the timeof sampling and the time allowed for hydration in dim light. In a field experiment with four low and four high ABA F6lines,P-V curves for flag leaves from both droughted and irrigatedplants gave at both zero turgor (p) and zero water potential(1) which differed with degree of stress, sampling time andgenotype. 1was strongly dependent on the initialL of the leafand was reduced on average by c. 0.4 MPa per MPa decline ininitial L.5, was lower (more negative) by c. 0.1-MPa in theafternoon than in the morning. Overall, was also 0.1 MPa lowerin low ABA lines than in high ABA lines. In another field experiment, flag leaves of five low and fivehigh ABA F6lines were sampled over a 4 week period from droughtedplots and L and 5, measured (the latter by osmometry with expressedsap). For these leaves 5, at zero p or zero L was consistentlylower by 0.30.5 MPa than estimates of 5, from the P-Vcurves with flag leaves. However, data for the low ABA lineswere again lower (by c. 0.1 MPa) than those for high ABA lines. The consequences of these differences in 1 are discussed inrelation to the stimulation of ABA accumulation in low and highABA selections.
