From compartmental analysis of 32P elution measurements, concentrationsand fluxes of phosphate were estimated for root cortical cellsof intact Lolium perenne L. plants, when in complete nutrientsolution containing 0.1 mol m3 phosphate with and without37 mmol m3 Al during loading and elution. Failure ofthe data, when plotted as ct. min1 remaining in the tissueas a function of time, to meet the criteria for first orderkinetics led to a discussion of the relative importance of transportto the shoot, assimilation, and complexation in the vacuole,in causing this discrepancy. It was concluded that complexationwas the most important factor. Transformation of the data tomeet the criteria for first order kinetics gave corrected valuesfor compartmental concentrations and fluxes of phosphate, andestimates of the size of the otherwise unresolved slowly exchangingcompartment within the vacuole equated with condensed phosphate.In the control this was 2.5 mol m3 P but in Al treatmentsa much larger amount of phosphate was complexed with Al (6.5mol m3 P). Phosphate transport to the shoot was unaffectedby Al. Instead, levels of Al, common in solution in upland soils,sequestered in the root vacuoles quantities of phosphate significantfor stressing the phosphate economy of nutrient-poor grassland.

Investigations on the effects of low levels of Al on P adsorption,uptake and translocation in seedlings of the indigenous grassAgrostis capillaris were undertaken. Apparent uptake and transportof H2 32PO4 from nutrient solutions containing 10 or 100mmolm3 phosphate were characterized as functions of timeand concentration. Experiments on 32P uptake and transport insolutions containing no Al (control) or Al ranging from 3.7to 185 mmol m3 at pH ranging from 4.3 to 4.6, showedthat in 10 mmol m3 P, effects of Al at 3.7 and 37 mmolm3 on the size of the initial uptake shoulder were small,but some increase in subsequent P uptake to the roots was observed,though transport to the shoots was suppressed. With 37 mmolm3 Al in nutrient solution containing 100 mmol m3P, the uptake shoulder was much increased above the control.Subsequent root uptake was stimulated but transport was unaffected.Lack of toxicity of the Al concentrations used was indicatedby a lack of significant effect on plant fresh weight. AbsorbedAl was almost totally retained in the root in all treatments.Speciation calculations showed that the major species in Alamended nutrient solution at pH 4.4 were H2PO4, AI3+and AIHPO4+, together with substantial amounts of AISO4+ andsoluble aluminium hydroxy complexes (AIOH2+, AI(OH)2+), dependingon the relative concentrations of P and Al. The effects of Al,with 10 mmol m3 P, on adsorption of complexed P werepartly accounted for in terms of preferential cell wall adsorptionof Al complexes not containing P. Conclusions were drawn aboutthe P-economy of A. capillaris plants growing on soils withlow levels of P and Al. Key words: Phosphorus, aluminium, speciation, Agrostis capillahs L 相似文献

The development of a medium for studying aluminium toxicityin plant cell cultures is described. To prevent the precipitationof Al added to the standard cell culture medium, it was necessaryto lower the phosphate concentration from 1250 mmol m3to10 mmol m3, and the pH from 5.8 to 4-0. Two additionalmodifications were the use of unchelated iron and a reductionin the calcium concentration from 3.0 mol m3 to 0.1 molm3. Since the gelling properties of agar are inhibitedat pH 4.0, cells were cultured on filter paper supported bypolyurethane foam sturated with liquid medium. The only limitationto the growth of plated Nicotiana plumbaginifolia Viv. cellson the modified medium was the reduced phosphate concentration.This was partly overcome by preloading the cellswith phosphate prior to each experiment. In addition, the filterpaper with adhering cells was transferred to fresh medium everysecond day to replenish phosphate, and to re-establish the initialpH of4.0 (which otherwise drifts upward). With the modifiedmedium, Al toxicity was observed in plated N. plumbaginifoliacells at both 200 mmol m3 and 400 mmol m3 Al.There was no toxicity at these Al concentrations when the normalphosphate concentration or pH were restored to the modifiedmedium. Partial alleviation of Al toxicity occurred with restorationof the normal calcium concentration or chelated iron. Chelationof Al with citrate or EDTA also mitigated Al toxicity. In additonto Al toxicity, the modified medium should also prove usefulfor studying other metal toxicities in plant cell culture. Key words: Al toxicity, Cell culture, Nicotiana plumbaginifolia 相似文献

Apparent uptake and transport of H232PO4 from nutrientsolutions containing 100 mmol m3 phosphate were characterizedasfunctions of time, concentration and pH in ryegrass seedlings.On a log/log plot, concentration versus uptake to the root resolvedintotwo linear phases, suggesting a change in uptake mechanism orefflux at the break. These results were compared with thosefor 32P uptake and transport in solutions containing Al rangingfrom 0185 mmol m3. Al addition depressed pH, butbecauseuptake of P was unaffected by pH below 50, noadjustments were attempted. Uptake time-courses revealed clearlythe usualinitial adsorption shoulder in the uptake curve, increasingwith Al concentration up to 37 mmol m3. Beyond about2 h, P uptaketo the root became linear, at rates increasingwith external Al concentration up to 37 mmol m3. Concentrationsof Al muchabove 100 mmol m3 were toxic. Al treatmentsdid not affect P transport to the shoot and absorbed Al wasconfined to the root.The quantities of P and Al taken up intothe root indicated storage in cortex cell vacuoles, lockingup significant amounts of P.Experiments with tillering plantsshowed similar characteristics to those with seedlings. Sequesteringof P with Al within the rootcortex cells was evident, particularlyin plants which had been grown in nutrient containing Al fromsoon after germination. Aland P solution chemistry is discussedin the context of this work and the consequences of effectson P uptake for the economy ofphosphate poor upland soils wereconsidered.

Two hydroponic experiments were conducted to determine the effectsof brief and prolonged AI3+ exposures on the hydraulic conductivity(Lp) of northern red oak (Quercus rubra L.) root systems. RootLp was determined using the pressure chamber method of Fiscus(1977). In the first experiment, 28- to 40-d-old seedlings weretreated for 4 d with complete nutrient solutions containingone of three Al concentrations (0.04, 1.85 or 3.71 mol m3)and either 0 or 50 mmol m3 P. Neither Lp nor daily transpirationwas affected by treatment. In Experiment II, seedlings were grown for 4863 d incomplete solutions containing one of three Al concentrations(0, 0.75 or 2.00 mol m3) and either 10 or 250 mmol m3Ca. Lp and leaf area to root length ratio (LA/RL) were reducedwhen (AI3+/ Ca2+), the solution activity ratio, was 2.9 andhigher. Lp and LA/RL were also negatively correlated with Alconcentration and Al/Ca concentration ratio in the roots. Lpwas positively correlated with LA/RL in both experiments. Itis unclear whether Lp in the second experiment was reduced directlyby solution and root chemistry or whether Lp changed in responseto altered leaf/root balance.

The effect of phosphate concentration in flowing solution cultureat a range between 0.04 and 32 mmol m3 P on the growthof perennial ryegrass was studied in two experiments, each lastingabout 45 d after sowing. Phosphorus contents of seedlings wereaffected by the concentration in solution within about 5 d fromgermination, and dry weight differences were first observedat about 6 d after this. The rate of uptake of phosphate byseedlings was affected by the concentration in solution beforethe root fresh weight or root/emdash shoot ratio had changed.Young plants (less than 4 weeks old) were more sensitive tophosphate concentration in solution than older ones. In conditionsof high rate of growth, older plants required a solution concentrationbetween 0.1 and 0.4 mmol m3 P to achieve maximum potentialgrowth rate, whereas for plants of similar age but less dryweight, 0.04 mmol m3 P was adequate. Towards the endof the experimental period, plants growing at a nominal solutionconcentration of 0.04 mmol m3 P were able to obtain phosphatefrom a solution of about 0.01 mmol m3P. Phosphate toxicity was not observed, nor were there visual symptoms(other than reduced growth) of phosphate deficiency in plantswhose growth was limited by phosphate concentration in solution.

Perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.) was grown from seed for29 d in flowing solution culture containing 0.1, 0.4 or 6.4mmol m3 P before the concentrations were changed (0.1and 0.4 raised to 6.4; 6.4 lowered to 0.4; controls unchanged)for an experimental period of two weeks to test the hypothesisthat after the seedling stage, the maximum rate of plant growthcould be sustained by a lower concentration of phosphate atthe root/solution interface than was necessary for the maximumrate of seedling growth. During the 29 d seedling period growthwas greatest on 6.4 mmol m3 P achieving 179 mg per plantdry weight compared with 122 and 26 mg on 0.4 and 0.1 mmol m3P respectively. During the experimental period growth on thetreatment 6.4 lowered to 0.4 mmol m3 P continued at thesame rate as the 6.4 control achieving 981 and 983 mg per plantdry weight respectively. Similarly growth of the treatment 0.4raised to 6.4 mol m3 P was unaffected by the change inconcentration and was comparable with the 0.4 control. Bothresults support the hypothesis for seedlings exceeding about100 mg per plant dry weight. In contrast the small plants ofthe treatment 0.1 raised to 6.4 mmol m3 P behaved similarlyto seedlings and responded rapidly to the increased concentrationof phosphate in solution, achieving high rates of phosphateuptake and increasing the growth of shoot more than the growthof root so that the ratio of root: shoot declined from 065 to0.34, a value similar to that for the seedlings grown on 6.4mmol m3 P.

Measurements were made of the membrane fluxes and toxicitiesof three cations with trivalent forms, Al, Ga and Sc, in internodalcells of the giant alga Chara corallina. With this species itwas possible to separate the cell wall from the cell contentsto obtain membrane fluxes which were not complicated by adsorptionof cations to the cell wall. Net uptake of Al was low, approximately1.5 pmol m2 s1, compared to the influxes of thedivalent cation 45Ca of 82 pmol m2 s1 and themonovalent cation 22Na of 1100 pmol m2 s1 at thesame external concentration. Traditional desorption methodsfor removing cell wall cations were found to be relatively ineffectivein the case of trivalent cations and, consequently, influx measuredwithout separating the cell wall component would greatly overestimatethe true membrane flux, possibly by several orders of magnitude.Al, Ga and Sc all inhibited growth at 20 mmol m3 at pH4.4. Toxicity decreased in the order Sc>Al>Ga. Sc andAl were also toxic to mature non-growing cells. Influx of 46Scincreased with increasing pH, consistent with membrane permeationby hydroxy Sc rather than Sc3+. However, Sc was more toxic atlow pH where Sc3+ was the dominant species and where influxwas low and binding to cell walls was high. These results argueagainst Sc acting intracellularly and favour a toxicity mechanismwhich is initiated extracellularly.

Northern red oak (Quercus rubra L.) seedlings were grown for63 d in a complete nutrient solution (pH 3.8) containing oneof three concentrations of Al (0, 0.75 or 2-0 mol m3)and either 10 or 250 mmol m3 Ca. Of all solution variables,the In of (Al3+)/(Ca2+), the solution activities ratio, wasmost closely correlated with declines in shoot and root growth.Ln (Al3+)/(Ca2+) also most closely predicted leaf and root [Mg],[Al], and [Al]/[Ca]. These three variables in turn were closelyrelated to growth. Toxic levels of (Al3+) and (Al3+)/(Ca2+)in solution are compared to levels in forest soils.

Honeylocust (Gleditsia triacanthos L.) seedlings were grownin solution culture at pH 4.0) with 50, 150, 600 and 1500 mmolm3 aluminium. All levels of aiuminium reduced the sizeand weight of roots, shoots and leaves with the exception ofroot elongation at 50 mmol m3 Al. Aluminium content ofroots was 50 to 100 times that of shoots. With increasing concentrationof aluminium, aluminium content of leaves and roots increasedexponentially while a linear increase was observed for stems.The nutrient content of seedlings was improved in 50 mmol m3where increases in shoot calcium, magnesium, and phosphorusconcentrations were observed. Aluminium concentrations greaterthan 50 mmol m3 reduced shoot nutrient content. Presenceof aluminium increased the root phosphorus and calcium levelsbut had no effect on potassium and magnesium concentrations.Results show that honeylocust is an aluminium sensitive treespecies whose growth may be reduced by high soil Al levels.

The acidophilic alga Dunaliella acidophila exhibits optimalgrowth at pH 1. We have investigated the regulation of phosphateuptake by this alga using tracer techniques and by performingintracellular phosphate measurements under different growthconditions including phosphate limitation. In batch culturewith 2·2 mol m3 phosphate in the medium the uptakeof phosphate at micromolar phosphate concentrations followeda linear time dependence in the range of minutes and rates werein the range of 1 µmol phosphate mg1 chl h1,only. However, under discontinuous phosphate-limited growthconditions, tracer influx revealed a biphasic pattern at micromolarphosphate concentrations: An initial burst phase resulted ina 104-fold internal phosphate accumulation and levelled offafter about 10 s. A double reciprocal plot of the initial influxrates obtained for phosphate-limited and unlimited algae exhibitedMichaelis-Menten kinetics. Phosphate limitation caused a significantactivation of the maximum velocity of uptake, yielding Vmaxup to 1 mmol mg1 chl h1 as compared to valuesin the order of 50 µmol phosphate mg1 chl h1for the second phase (this magnitude is also representativefor non-limited batch cultures). Concomitantly the Michaelisconstant was altered from 4 mmol m3 to 0·7 mmolm3. The rapid uptake of phosphate was inhibited by arsenateand FCCP and was not stimulated by Na+. The pH dependence oftracer accumulation and measurements of the intracellular phosphatepool under different growth conditions indicate that at lowpH and low external phosphate concentrations the high protongradient present under these conditions is utilized for a H3PO4uptake or a H+/H2PO4 cotransport. However, when the externalphosphate concentration was increased to levels sufficientlyhigh for transport to be driven by the positive membrane potential(10 mol m3 phosphate), the pH dependence of phosphateuptake was more complex, but could be explained by the uptakeof H3PO4 or a H+/H2PO4-cotransport at low pH and a differenttype H2PO4-transport (with unknown type of ion coupling)at high pH-values. It is suggested that this flexible couplingof phosphate transport is of essential importance for the acidresistance of Dunaliella acidophila.

Jarvis, S. C. and Hatch, D. J. 1985. The effects of aluminiumon the growth of white clover dependent upon fixation of atmosphericnitrogen.J. exp. Bot. 36: 10751086. The effects of aluminium (Al3 +) on the growth of white cloverdependent upon symbiotic fixation of atmospheric nitrogen wereexamined at concentrations that may be encountered in solutionsfrom soils of low pH. Well established plants were grown inflowing solution culture with carefully maintained concentrationsof Al and of P and with pH held constant at a value (4.5) atwhich insoluble precipitates are unlikely to form. After 3 weeksof treatment, there were major visual differences between treatmentsin both shoots and roots. Although added Al at 25, 50 and 100mmol m3 reduced dry weight, the differences between theplants were not significant. There were, however, some considerabledifferences in P and Ca contents between the treatments. Muchof the Al held by the roots was displaced when plants were transferredto solutions containing either scandium or gallium. As wellas the effects on the plant, Al had a considerable influenceon the fixation of atmospheric nitrogen. At concentrations of50 and 100 mmol m3 Al3+ nodule initiation was reducedand there was a much reduced nodule nitrogenase activity perunit of root. Even at 25 mmol m3 Al3+, when nodule numberswere not reduced, nitrogenase activity was adversely affected. Key words: Aluminium, Trifolium repens, nitrogen fixation 相似文献

Phosphate uptake rates in Synechococcus R-2 in BG-11 media (anitrate-based medium, not phosphate limited) were measured usingcells grown semi-continuously and in continuous culture. Netuptake of phosphate is proportional to external concentration.Growing cells at pHo 10 have a net uptake rate of about 600pmol m2 s1 phosphate, but the isotopic flux for32P phosphate was about 4 nmol m2 s1. There appearsto be a constitutive over-capacity for phosphate uptake. TheKm and Vmax, of the saturable component were not significantlydifferent at pHo 7.5 and 10, hence the transport system probablyrecognizes both H2PO4and HPO24. The intracellularinorganic phosphate concentration is about 3 to 10 mol m3,but there is an intracellular polyphosphate store of about 400mol m3. Intracellular inorganic phosphate is 25 to 50kJ mol1 from electrochemical equilibrium in both thelight and dark and at pHo 7.5 and 10. Phosphate uptake is veryslow in the dark ( 100 pmol m2 s1) and is light-activated(pHo 7.51.3 nmol m2 s1, pHo 10600 pmol m2s1). Uptake has an irreversible requirement for Mg2+in the medium. Uptake in the light is strongly Na+-dependent.Phosphate uptake was negatively electrogenic (net negative chargetaken up when transporting phosphate) at pHo 7.5, but positivelyelectrogenic at pHo 10. This seems to exclude a sodium motiveforce driven mechanism. An ATP-driven phosphate uptake mechanismneeds to have a stoichiometry of one phosphate taken up perATP (1 PO4 in/ATP) to be thermodynamically possible under allthe conditions tested in the present study.

We present a numerical model of nutrient uptake and photosynthesisduring migrations of the marine diatom Rhizosolenia that wasdeveloped to estimate fluxes of carbon and nitrogen due to thesemigrations in the open ocean. The predicted specific rate ofincrease of Rhizosolenia was 0.110.15 day1, whereas thetotal time for one migration cycle ranged between 3 and 5 days.Using published estimates of Rhizosolenia abundance, we estimatethat new primary production due to Rhizosolenia migrations rangesbetween 0.018 and 0.033 mmol N m2 day1. Thesevalues represent up to 17% of new production due to turbulentdiffusive fluxes of nitrate into the euphotic zone and are ofthe same order of magnitude as new production due to nitrogenfixation in tropical oceans. Large-scale contributions of Rhizosoleniato oceanic new production are limited by their relatively lowstanding crop. Variations in the formulation of losses withdepth greatly affected gross and net fluxes of carbon and nitrogen.Better characterization of losses of Rhizosolenia and improvedestimates of its abundance will help determine more accuratelythe contributions of Rhizosolenia to global biogeochemical cycles.

Astle, M. and Rubery, P. 1987. Carrier-mediated ABA uptake bysuspension-cultured Phaseolus coccineus L. cells: Stereospecificityand inhibition by ionones and ABA esters.J. exp. Bot.38: 150163. The substrate for the abscisic acid (ABA) carrier in Phaseoluscoccineus L. suspension-cultured cells is shown to be the (S)ABAenantiomer, Km = 1?0 mmol m3. The methyl (MeABA) andphenyl (PheABA) esters of ABA inhibit carrier-mediated uptakeof ABA with half-maximal inhibition achieved at about 7?0 mmolm3 and 10 mmol m3 respectively: with (S)MeABAthis value is decreased to about 2?0 mmol m3. There isno demethylation of radioactive MeABA by the cells during 5min incubations. Although MeABA reversibly inhibits the ABAcarrier, it is not a transport substrate: association of radioactiveMeABA with living cells is unaffected by non-radioactive MeABAor ABA and, by comparison with frozen-and-thawed cells, it isshown that the radioactivity remains extracellular. It is proposedthat MeABA binds to the carrier to form an abortive complexthat is not translocated. The terpenoid ABA analogue LAB 144143also inhibits carrier-mediated ABA uptake. At concentrationsup to about 20 mmol m3 - and ß-ionone specificallyinhibit the ABA carrier with the half-maximal effect at about0?6 mmol m3 ß-ionone. However, at higher iononeconcentrations, the uptake of ABA, indol-3-yl acetic acid andof 5,5-dimethyloxazolidine-2,4-dione (DMO) are all stimulated:this may reflect general permeabilization of the membrane toweak acids by ionone.

The relationship between the rate of CO2 fixation and sucroseconcentration in the leaves of rice (Oryza sativa L.) grownat different light intensities was investigated. Maximum sucrosecontent coincided with maximum rates of CO2 fixation, achievedat a photon flux density of 1600 µmol m2 s1.The levels of sucrose and fructose 2,6-bisphosphate were alsocompared in the leaves under different light intensities. Fructose2,6-Msphosphate accumulated during growth at low light. Theactivity of fructose-6-phosphate 2-kinase was high in the leavesgrown at low light while that of fructose-2,6-bisphosphatasewas low. The activities of phosphoglucose isomerase and phospho-glucomutasewere slightly increased by growth at low light The activitiesof UDP glucose pyrophosphorylase were adversely affected invitro with increased concentrations of fructose 2,6-bisphosphatewhile those of sucrose phosphate synthase were moderately affected.Phosphoglucose isomerase and phosphoglucomutase were activatedby fructose 2,6-bisphosphate (8-0 mmol m3) by 12-15%.The results suggested that low light intensities during growthresult in an accumulation of fructose 2,6-bisphosphate whichmodulates the key enzymes of sucrose biosynthesis thus regulatingcarbon flow under conditions of limited photosynthesis.

Spatial and Temporal Aspects of Growth in the Primary Root of Cotton Seedlings: Effects of NaCl and CaCl2 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Seedlings of cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L. cv. Acala SJ-2) weregrown in modified Hoagland nutrient solution with various combinationsof NaCl and CaCl2. Marking experiments and numerical analysiswere conducted to characterize the spatial and temporal patternsof cotton root growth at varied Na/Ca ratios. At 1 mol m3Ca, 150 mol m3 NaCl reduced overall root elongation rateto 60% of the control, while increasing Ca to 10 mol m3at the same NaCl concentration restored the elongation rateto 80% of the control. Analysis of the spatial distributionof elongation revealed that the presence of 150 mol m3NaCl in the medium shortened the growth zone by about 2 mm fromthe approximate 10 mm in the control and also reduced the relativeelemental elongation rate (i.e. the longitudinal strain rate,defined as the derivatives of displacement velocity of a cellularparticle with respect to position on root axis). Supply of 10mol m3 Ca at the high salt condition restored partiallythe relative elemental elongation rate, but not the length ofthe growth zone. Compared to the control, the growth trajectoriesshowed that at 1 mol m3 CaCl2 it took more time for acellular particle to move through the growth zone at 150 molm3 NaCl, while at 10 mol m3 CaCl it took lesstime and there was no difference between the NaCl treatments Key words: Gossypium hirsutum, salinity stress, root growth kinematics 相似文献

The effects of light/dark on anion fluxes in isolated guardcells of Commelina communis L. have been studied, using 82Brand 36Cl. Transfer of open guard cells from light to dark hasno effect on the 82Br influx, but produces a marked transientstimulation of 82Br or 36Cl efflux, similar to the effect ofsuch transfer on the 86Rb fluxes, and to the effects on both86Rb and 82Br fluxes of adding ABA. On return of guard cellsto light, after the transient, there is a further reductionin Cl/Br efflux. It is argued that control of a specific processof ion extrusion is important in regulating the ability of guardcells to stay open. In three out of four batches of steady-statetissue labelled with 82Br, the plasmalemma fluxes were highenough, relative to the tonoplast fluxes, for the efflux kineticsto be separable into two exponential components, allowing estimationof bromide contents in cytoplasm and vacuole (Qc and Qv), andfluxes at plasmalemma and tonoplast. With opening in light,Qc increased by 3.9 ± 0.4 pmol mm2 µm1and Qy by 5.2 ± 0.6 pmol mm2 µm1(change in content per mm2 of epidermis perµm change inaperture). Using rough estimates for the volumes of cytoplasmand vacuole these figures suggest that at 6.1 µm in thedark the concentrations were about 63 mol m3 in the cytoplasmand 35 mol m3 in the vacuole, rising to about 185 molm3 in the cytoplasm and 125 mol m3 in the vacuole,at 16.7 µm aperture in light. Neither increase can providean adequate increase in salt concentration to account for theosmotic change required, and some solute other than potassiumsalt must also be involved. In one experiment with 82Br andin the only experiment with 36Cl the plasmalemma flux was lower,and not high enough relative to the tonoplast flux to allowseparation of two phases in the efflux curves, and calculationof cytoplasmic and vacuolar contents and fluxes. The effectsof transfer from light to dark were, nevertheless, similar inboth types of tissue. Key words: Commelina communis L., Light/dark effects, Anion fluxes, Guard cells 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 01000 mmol m3. Lineweaver-Burke plots ofthe data are characteristic of competitive inhibition by NO3in the low concentration range (0300 mmol m3 ClO3)and apparent KINO3 is 140 mmol m3 which is of a similarorder of magnitude as apparent KmCIO3- 180 mmol m3. 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.
