Yeo, A. R., Yeo, M. E., Caporn, S. J. M., Lachno, D. R. andFlowers, T. J. 1985. The use of 14C-ethane diol as a quantitativetracer for the transpirational volume flow of water and an investigationof the effects of salinity upon transpiration, net sodium accumulationand endogenous ABA in individual leaves of Oryza sativa L.—J.exp. Bot. 36: 1099–1109. Oryza sativa L. (rice) seedlings growing in saline conditionsexhibit pronounced gradients in leaf sodium concentration whichis always higher in the older leaves than the younger ones.Individual leaf transpiration rates have been investigated todiscover whether movement of sodium in the transpiration streamis able to explain these profiles from leaf to leaf. The useof 14C labelled ethane diol to estimate transpiration was evaluatedby direct comparison with values obtained by gas exchange measurements.Ethane diol uptake was linearly related to the transpirationalvolume flow and accurately predicted leaf to leaf gradientsin transpiration rate in saline and non-saline conditions. 14C-ethanediol and 22NaCl were used to compare the fluxes of water andsodium into different leaves. The youngest leaf showed the highesttranspiration rate but the lowest Na accumulation in salineconditions; conversely, the older leaves showed the lower transpirationrates but the greater accumulation of Na. The apparent concentrationof Na in the xylem stream was 44 times lower into the youngerleaf 4 than into the older leaf 1. Exposure to NaCl (50 molm–3) for 24 h elicited an increase in endogenous ABA inthe oldest leaf only, but no significant changes occurred inthe younger leaves.

Hordeum vulgare cv. California Mariout was established in sandculture at two different NaCl concentrations (0.5 mol m–3‘control’ and 100 mol m–3) in the presenceof 6.5 mol m–3 K +. Between 16 and 31 d after germination,before stem elongation started, xylem sap was collected by useof a pressure chamber. Collections were made at three differentsites on leaves 1 and 3: at the base of the sheath, at the baseof the blade, i.e. above the ligule, and at the tip of the blade.Phloem sap was collected from leaf 3 at similar sites throughaphid stylets. The concentrations of K +, Na+, Mg2+ and Ca2+were measured. Ion concentrations in xylem sap collected at the base of leaves1 and 3 were identical, indicating there was no preferentialdelivery of specific ions to older leaves. All ion concentrationsin the xylem decreased from the base of the leaf towards thetip; these gradients were remarkably steep for young leaves,indicating high rates of ion uptake from the xylem. The gradientsdecreased with leaf age, but did not disappear completely. In phloem sap, concentrations of K+ and total osmolality declinedslightly from the tip to the base of leaves of both controland salt-treated plants. By contrast, Na+ concentrations inphloem sap collected from salt-treated plants decreased drasticallyfrom 21 mol m–3 at the tip to 7.5 mol m–3 at thebase. Data of K/Na ratios in xylem and phloem sap were used to constructan empirical model of Na+ and K+ flows within xylem and phloemduring the life cycle of a leaf, indicating recirculation ofNa+ within the leaf.

Uptake and partitioning through the xylem and phloem of K+,Na+, Mg2+ , Ca2+ and Cl were studied over a 9 d intervalduring late vegetative growth of castor bean (Ricinus communisL.) plants exposed to a mean salinity stress of 128 mol m–3NaCl. Empirically based models of flow and utilization of eachion within the whole plant were constructed using informationon ion increments of plant parts, molar ratios of ions to carbonin phloem sap sampled from petioles and stem internodes andpreviously derived information on carbon flow between plantsparts in xylem and phloem in identical plant material. Salientfeatures of the plant budget for K+ were prominent depositionin leaves, high mobility of K+ in phloem, high rates of cyclingthrough leaves and downward translocation of K+ providing theroot with a large excess of K+ . Corresponding data for Na+showed marked retention in the root, lateral uptake from xylemby hypocotyl, stem internodes and petioles leading to low intakeby young leaf laminae and substantial cycling from older leavesback to the root. The partitioning of the anionic componentof NaCl salinity, Cl, contrasted to that of Na+ in thatit was not substantially retained in the root, but depositedmore or less uniformly in stem, petiole and leaf lamina tissues.The flow pattern for Mg2+ showed relatively even depositionthrough the plant but some preferential uptake by young leaves,generally lesser export than import by leaf laminae, and a returnflow of Mg2+ from shoot to root considerably less than the recordedincrement of the root. Ca2+ partitioning contrasted with thatof the other ions in showing extremely poor phloem mobility,leading to progressive preferential accumulation in leaf laminaeand negligible cycling of the element through leaves or root.Features of the response of Ricinus to salinity shown in thepresent study were discussed with data from similar modellingstudies on white lupin (Lupinus albus L.) and barley (Hordeumvulgare L.)

Strawberry plants were cultured in concentrated and dilute nutrientsolutions by day and night, factorially. Guttation decreased,leaf tipburn increased and calcium in emerging leaves was reducedwhen solutions were more concentrated at night. Nutrient concentrationin the daytime was much less important for these responses.The effects were similar when the more concentrated solutioncontained additional Ca2+, NO2, Cl and SO42–or extra of all the major nutrients in the same proportions.When the solution was made stronger by adding extra Mg2+, NO2,Cl and SO42– the guttation, tipburn and calciumdifferences were basically similar to those in the previousexperiment but with an added effect explained by a competitivesuppression of calcium uptake caused by the extra magnesium.Thus, both nutrient strength and cation balance are importantfor preventing strawberry leaf tipburn. The results accord with the hypothesis that calcium translocationinto pre-emerged strawberry leaves depends on the attainmentof a positive water pressure in the xylem at night, when transpirationlosses are minimal.

Light stimulates leaf expansion in dicotyledons by increasingapoplastic acidification, cell wall loosening and solute accumulationfor turgor maintenance. Red and blue light enhance growth viadifferent photo-systems, but the cellular location and modesof action of these systems is not known. Here, the effect of red and blue light was studied on transportprocesses in epidermal cells of expanding leaves of the Argenteummutant of Pisum satlvum. Both red and blue light caused extraceiiuiaracidification by isolated epidermal tissue, which was stimulatedby extracellular K+ and inhibited by DCCD at 0.1 mol m–3.Acidification induced by red compared with blue light showeddifferent saturating kinetics in fluence rate-response curves.Under near saturating light conditions the effects of red andblue light were additive. The red light-induced acidificationwas inhibited by far-red light while the blue light-inducedacidification was not. Light caused a hyperpoianzation of themembrane potential in epidermal strips, and stimulated 86Rb+uptake by epidermal protoplasts. These results show that phytochromeand an additional blue light-photoreceptor function in isolatedepidermal cells to promote proton efflux, hyperpolarization,and cation uptake.

A detailed study of the calcifuge Lupinus Iuteus L. (yellowlupin) has been carried out in an attempt to explain its poorperformance in the presence of high concentrations of rhizosphenccalcium. Plants were grown on two different calcium regimes,1 or 15 mol m Ca and, after an establishment period,measurements were made of the rate of leaf extension, finallength of the leaflets and the leaf gas exchange. In addition,the distribution of calcium within the leaf tissue was investigated. At 15 mol m–3 Ca, leaflet length at full expansion wasreduced as a consequence of reduced extension rate and a declinein cell wall extensibility. Transpiration in excised leaves,assayed gravimetrically, was significantly reduced in plantsgrown in high calcium. Similar results were also obtained fromgas exchange measurements. Analysis of A/C, curves indicatedthat in plants grown in high [Ca] there was a substantial reductionin net assimilation over a range of concentrations of CO2 X-raymicroanalysis revealed that a large amount of cal cium deliveredin the xylem sap is retained in the mesophyll tissue, and mostof that reaching the epidermal tissue is not found in the guardcells but in the cells adjacent to them, which in this speciesare not anatomically distinct as ‘subsidiary’ cells.

An experimentally-based modelling technique was developed todescribe quantitatively the uptake, flow, storage and utilizationof NO3-N over a 9 d period in mid-vegetative growth of sandcultured castor bean (Ricinus communis L.) fed 12 mol m–3nitrate and exposed to a mean salinity stress of 128 mol m–3NaCl. Model construction used information on increments or lossesof NO3-N or total reduced N in plant parts over the study periodand concentration data for NO3-N and reduced (amino acid) Nin phloem sap and pressure-induced xylem exudates obtained fromstem, petiole and leaf lamina tissue at various levels up ashoot. The resulting models indicated that the bulk (87%) of incomingnitrate was reduced, 51% of this in the root, the remainderprincipally in the laminae of leaves. The shoot was 60% autotrophicfor N through its own nitrate assimilation, but was oversuppliedwith surplus reduced N generated by the root and fed to theshoot through the xylem. The equivalent of over half (53%) ofthis N returned to the root as phloem translocate and, mostly,then cycled back to the shoot via xylem. Nitrate comprised almosthalf of the N of most xylem samples, but less than 1% of phloemsap N. Laminae of leaves of different age varied greatly inN balance. The fully grown lower three leaves generated a surplusof reduced N by nitrate assimilation and this, accompanied byreduced N cycling by xylem to phloem exchange, was exportedfrom the leaf. Leaf 4 was gauged to be just self-sufficientin terms of nitrate reduction, while also cycling reduced N.The three upper leaves (5–7) met their N balance to varyingextents by xylem import, phloem import (leaves 6 and 7 only)and assimilation of nitrate. Petioles and stem tissue generallyshowed low reductase activities, but obtained most of theirN by abstraction from xylem and phloem streams. The models predictedthat nodal tissue of lower parts of the stem abstracted reducedN from the departing leaf traces and transferred this, but notnitrate, to xylem streams passing further up the shoot. As aresult, xylem sap was predicted to become more concentratedin N as it passed up the shoot, and to decrease the ratio ofNO3-N to reduced N from 0·45 to 0·21 from thebase to the top of the shoot. These changes were reflected inthe measured N values for pressure-induced xylem exudates fromdifferent sites on the shoot. Transfer cells, observed in thexylem of leaf traces exiting from nodal tissue, were suggestedto be involved in the abstraction process.

Ion (K+, Na+, Mg2+, Ca2+ and Cl) flows and partitioning in thepetiole and lamina of leaf 6 of castor bean {Ricinus communisL.) plants growing in the presence of a mean of 71 mol m–3NaCl were described by an empirical modelling technique. Thiscombined data on changes in ion contents of petiole and lamina,ion: carbon molar ratios of phloem bleeding sap and pressure-inducedxylem exudates of the leaf with previously described informationon the economies of C and N in identical leaf material. Datawere expressed as daily exchanges of ions in xylem and phloem,or depicted as models of ion balance and transport activityof petiole and lamina during four consecutive phases of leaflife. The early import phase was characterized by high intakeof K and Mg through phloem, and of Ca mainly through xylem,but only limited intake of Na and Cl. The next phase up to fullleaf expansion showed similar relative differences in xylemintake between ions and the onset of rapid phloem export fromthe lamina of K and Mg, some export of Na and Cl but scarcelyany of Ca. The next mature phase, marked by maximal photosynthesisand transpiration by the leaf, showed high xylem intake of allions in xylem. This was more than matched by phloem export ofMg and K, but by only fractional re-export of Na and Cl andagain very limited cycling through the leaf of Ca. The finalpre-senescence phase exhibited similar behaviour, but with generallygreater contribution to phloem transport from mobilization ofion reserves of the lamina. The petiole retained particularlylarge amounts of Na and Cl in its early growth, thereby protectingthe lamina from excessive entry of salt, but these petiolarpools, together with those or other nutrient ions, were laterpartially mobilized to the lamina via the xylem stream. Datawere discussed in relation to the relatively high salt toleranceexhibited by the species.

Hordeum vulgare cv. California Mariout was grown for 50 d insand culture at 100 mol m–3 NaCl. Xylem sap was collectedthrough incisions at the base of individual leaves along thestem axis by applying pressure to the root system. K+ concentrationsin the xylem sap reaching individual leaves increased towardsthe apex, while concentrations of Na+, NO3, and Cldeclined. Phloem exudate was obtained by collecting into Li2EDTAfrom the base of excised leaves. K/Na ratios of phloem exudatesincreased from older to younger leaves. K/Na ratios in xylem sap and phloem exudate were combined withchanges in ion content between two harvests (38 and 45 d aftergermination) and the direction of phloem export from individualleaves, to construct an empirical model of K+ and Na+ net flowswithin the xylem and phloem of the whole plant. This model indicatesthat in old leaves, phloem export of K+ greatly exceeded xylemimport. In contrast, Na+ export was small compared to importand Na+ once imported was retained within the leaf. The direction of export strongly depended on leaf age. Old,basal leaves preferentially supplied the root, and most of theK+ retranslocated to the roots was transferred to the xylemand subsequently became available to the shoot. Upper leavesexported to the apex. Young organs were supplied by xylem andphloem, with the xylem preferentially delivering Na+ , and thephloem most of the K+ . For the young ear, which was still coveredby the sheath of the flag leaf, our calculation predicts phloemimport of ions to such an extent that the surplus must havebeen removed by an outward flow in the xylem. Within the culm,indications for specific transfers of K+ and Na+ between xylemand phloem and release or absorption of these ions by the tissuewere obtained. The sum of these processes in stem internodes and leaves ledto a non-uniform distribution of Na+ and K+ within the shoot,Na+ being retained in old leaves and basal stem internodes,and K+ being available for growth and expansion of young tissues.

The extent by which salinity affects plant growth depends partlyon the ability of the plant to exclude NaCl. To study the uptakeof NaCl into excised roots of Zea mays L. cv. ‘Tanker’,two different techniques were applied. A root pressure probewas used to record steady state as well as transient valuesof root (xylem) pressure upon exposure of the root to mediacontaining NaCl and KCl as osmotic solutes. In treatments withNaCl, pressure/time responses of the root indicated a significantuptake of NaCl into the xylem. NaCl induced kinetics were completelyreversible when the NaCl solution was replaced by an isosmoticKCl solution. This indicated a passive movement of Na+-saltsacross the root cylinder. Root samples were taken at differenttimes of exposure to NaCl and prepared for X-ray microanalysis(EDX analysis). Radial profiles of ion concentrations (Na+,K+, Cl) were measured in cell vacuoles and xylem vesselsalong the root axis. Na+ appeared rapidly in mature xylem (earlymetaxylem) and living xylem (late metaxylem) before it was detectablein vacuoles of the root cortex. EDX results confirmed that thekinetics observed by the pressure probe technique correspondedmainly to an influx of Na+-salts into early metaxylem. In latemetaxylem, the uptake of Na+ was associated with a decline ofK+. The Na+/K+ exchange indicated a mechanism to reduce sodiumfrom the transpiration stream.

Soluble-compound microautoradiography was used to determinethe distribution of radioactivity in transverse sections ofintact dwarf pea stems (Pisum sativum L.) following the applicationof [3H]IAA to the apical bud. Near the transport front labelwas confined to the cambial zone of the axial bundles, includingthe differentiating secondary vascular elements. Fully differentiatedphloem and xylem elements remained unlabelled and no radioactivitywas detected in the leaf or stipule traces. Similar resultswere obtained in experiments with Vicia faba L. plants. Nearerthe labelled apical bud of the pea there was a more generaldistribution of label and evidence was found of free-space transportof radioactive material in the pith. When [3H]IAA was applied to mature foliage leaves the greatestconcentration of label was found in the differentiated phloemelements of the appropriate leaf trace and in the phloem ofthe adjacent axial bundles. Both basipetal and acropetal transportwas detected in this case. These results are consistent with the conclusions drawn fromearlier transport experiments which indicated that in the intactplant the long-distance basipetal transport of auxin from theapical bud takes place in a system which is separated from thephloem transport system and suggests that the vascular cambiumand its immediate derivatives may function as the normal pathwayfor the longdistance movement of auxin in the plant. The physiologicalsignificance of such a transport system for auxin is discussed.  相似文献

The effect of leaf age on K (86Rb) influx into tomato (Lycopersiconesculentum Mill.) leaf lamina slices was determined for leaves5, 9 and 13 counting acropetally. Potassium influx rates expressedon a leaf fresh weight basis declined rapidly during leaf elongationat external KCI concentrations between 0.5 and 20.0 mM. In fullyexpanded leaves, K influx rates declined more slowly with age.The onset of senescence in mature leaves did not result in alarge loss in K uptake capability. Leaf position on the shootaxis and the stage of whole plant development had little influenceon K influx into leaf cells. It is suggested that the rapiddecrease in K influx in growing leaves is related to a dilutionin the concentration of K transporter sites resulting from anincrease in cell volume and weight.

The possible causes of blossom-end rot (BER) in tomato fruitwere investigated by comparing the uptake of calcium by theroots, the distribution of 45Ca within the fruit and the vascularbundle network in the fruit of susceptible cultivars (Calypsoand Spectra) with those of a less susceptible cultivar (Counter)grown in a range of salinities (electrical conductivity of 5,10 and 15 mS cm–1). The daily calcium uptake rates at5 mS cm–1 as estimated from the xylem exudation of thedecapitated stem stump in young plants of Calypso and old plantsof Spectra, were lower than that of Counter. The uptake of 45Caby, and the transport to, the distal part of the detached fruitof susceptible cultivars, especially Calypso, were less thanin Counter at 10 mS cm–1. The number of vascular bundlesin both proximal and distal fruit tissues was similar in allcultivars and was only slightly reduced by salinity. However,the number of bundles containing lignified xylem vessels, asdetected by safranin staining, was reduced substantially bysalinity, particularly in Calypso. The estimated area of thefruit tissue served by individual xylem bundles in the BER susceptiblefruit grown at high salinity was greater than in Counter. Theincidence of BER in all trusses was linearly related to theproduct of average daily irradiance and daily temperature throughoutthe year. Temperature appears to be the major environmentalfactor which induces BER, regardless of cultivars and salinitytreatment. The most likely causes of BER in susceptible cultivarsare the interactions of (a) light and temperature on fruit enlargement,(b) inadequate xylem tissue development in the fruit and (c)competition between leaves and fruit for the available Ca.

Smith, J. A. C. and Nobel, P. S. 1986. Water movement and storagein a desert succulent: anatomy and rehydration kinetics forleaves of Agave deserti.—J. exp. Bot. 37: 1044–1053. Anatomic and kinetic aspects of water storage were investigatedfor the succulent leaves of the desert CAM plant, Agave deserti.An approximately linear relationship was found between the numberof vascular bundles and leaf surface area, both for leaves ofdifferent sizes and also along the length of a single leaf.The bundles, which were distributed throughout the leaf cross-section,were separated from each other by about eight water-storagecells. Even though the cell walls of the water-storage groundtissue made up only 2?5% of the cell volume, they provided about10% of the total cross-sectional area available for water transportradial to the xylem because cell-cell contact in such a directionaveraged 25% of the cell surface area. The rehydration kineticsof partially dehydrated leaf segments were resolved into threephases: (1) a relatively rapid movement into the vascular tissue(half-time of 2 min); (2) water movement into storage in theground tissue (half-time of 59 min); and (3) water movementinto the intercellular air spaces (half-time of about 10 h).Using the observed kinetics for water movement into the storagetissue and standard diffusion theory, the bulk-averaged diffusivityof water in the relatively homogeneous ground tissue (D1) was2?0 ? 10–10 m2 s–1 Using this (D1) and pathway analysis,most of the water moving from the xylem into storage in themassive leaves of A. deserti apparently occurred from cell tocell across the cell membranes rather than through the cellwalls.

The distribution of 14C from xylem-borne [14C]glutamine, the major nitrogen compound moving in xylem sap of cottonwood (Populus deltoides Bartr. ex Marsh), was followed in rapidly growing shoots with a combination of autoradiographic, microautoradiographic, and radioassay techniques. Autoradiography and 14C analyses of tissues showed that xylem-borne glutamine did not move with the transpiration stream into mature leaves. Instead, most of it was transferred from xylem to phloem in the upper stem and then translocated to young developing tissues. Microautoradiography showed that metaxylem parenchyma, secondary xylem parenchyma, and rays were the major areas of uptake from xylem vessels in the stem. Accumulation in phloem (high 14C concentrations in sieve tubes) took place in internodes subtending recently mature leaves. Little 14C from xylem-borne glutamine was found in phloem of mature leaves, which indicates restricted retransport of glutamine that did enter the leaf. In the primary tissues of the upper stem, most 14C was found in the phloem. Cottonwood stems have an efficient uptake and transfer system that enhances glutamine movement to developing tissues of the upper stem.  相似文献

Maize (Zea mays L.) was grown in quartz sand culture eitherwith a normal root system (controls) or with seminal roots only(‘single-rooted’). Development of adventitious rootswas prevented by using plants with an etiolated mesocotyl andthe stem base was positioned 5–8 cm above the sand. Eventhough the roots of the single-rooted plants were sufficientlysupplied with water and nutrients, the leaves experienced waterdeficits and showed decreased transpiration as trans plrationalwater flow was restricted by the constant number of xylem vesselspresent in the mesocotyl. As a consequence of this restriction,transpirational water flow velocities in the metaxylem vesselsreached mean values of 270 m h–1 and phloem transportvelocities of 5.2 m h–1. Despite limited xylem transportmineral nutrient concentrations in leaf tissues were not decreasedin single-rooted plants, but shoot and particularly stem developmentwas somewhat inhibited. Due to the lack of adventitious rootsthe shoot:root ratio was strongly increased in the single-rootedplants, but the seminal roots showed compensatory growth comparedto those in control plants. Consistent with decreased leaf conductance,ABA concentrations in leaves of single-rooted plants were elevatedup to 10-fold, but xylem sap ABA concentrations in these plantswere lower than in controls, in good agreement with the well-wateredconditions experienced by the seminal roots. Surprisingly, however,ABA concentrations in tissues of the seminal roots of the single-rooted plants were clearly increased compared to the controls,presumably due to increased ABA import via phloem from the water-stressedleaves. The results are discussed in relation to the role ofABA as a shoot to root signal.

Apoplastic potassium activities (ak) in leaves of Commelinacommunis L., Vicia faba L. and Pisum sativum L. var. argenteumwere recorded with neutral-carrier-based, potassium-sensitivemicro-electrodes. Measurements were carried out in 0.3–1.4nl volumes contiguous with the extracellular space of attachedleaves and were held for periods of 7–68 min. Mean steady-stateaK values recorded from all three species were below 50 µM.Similar potassium activities were attained, regardless of theinitial values obtained after washing with distilled water orpotassium additions, and the activities recorded showed onlyminimal dependence on the relative vapour pressure difference.Tissue capacity for K+ absorption was increased 15–30-foldin the presence of added Ca2+. By contrast, cyanide reducedboth the initial rate of potassium absorption by the tissuesand their apparent capacity for the cation. These observationsindicate that the free potassium pool in the leaf apoplast issignificantly smaller than has previously been assumed. Theresults contradict the notion that high concentrations of potassiumaccumulate locally as a result of transpiration, and may indicatethe presence in the leaf tissues of potassium transport activitysensitive to Ca2+ and dependent on metabolism.

Flooding the soil for 5–7 d caused partial desiccationin leaves of pea plants (Pisum sativum. L. cv. ‘Sprite’).The injury was associated with anaerobiosis in the soil, a largeincrease in the permeability of leaf tissue to electrolytesand other substances, a low leaf water content and an increasedwater saturation deficit (WSD). Desiccating leaves also lackedthe capacity to rehydrate in humid atmospheres, a disabilityexpressed as a water resaturation deficit (WRSD). This irreversibleinjury was preceded during the first 4–5 d of floodingby closure of stomata within 24 h, decreased transpiration,an unusually large leaf water content and small WSD. Leaf waterpotentials were higher than those in well-drained controls.Also, there was no appreciable WRSD. Leaflets detached fromflooded plants during this early phase retained their watermore effectively than those from controls when left exposedto the atmosphere for 5 min. Stomatal closure and the associated increase in leaf hydrationcould be simulated by excising leaves and incubating them withtheir petioles in open vials of water. Thus, such changes inflooded plants possibly represented a response to a deficiencyin the supply of substances that would usually be transportedfrom roots to leaves in healthy plants (negative message). Ionleakage and the associated loss of leaf hydration that occurswhen flooding is extended for more than 5 d could not be simulatedby isolating the leaves from the roots. Appearance of this symptomdepended on leaves remaining attached to flooded root systems,implying that the damage is caused by injurious substances passingupwards (positive message). Both ethylene and ethanol have beeneliminated as likely causes, but flooding increased phosphorusin the leaves to concentrations that may be toxic.

In vigorously growing shoots of apple and plum 14C-assimilateswere translocated from a ‘fed’ leaf to particularsectors of other leaves in a distribution pattern associatedwith the phyllotaxis; the same sectorial and distribution patternswere produced by 32P phosphate solution taken into the shootthrough a cut petiole. The frequency with which a given sectorialpattern occurred at a particular position on the phyllotacticspiral was ascertained. Such patterns were not observed abovethe third rolled leaf in the apple shoot apex. Killing the phloem in the petiole prevented egress of labelledassimilate but not of 32P solution. Barkringing above the sourceleaf reduced, but did not completely prevent, assimilate movementup the stem, suggesting some translocation in the xylem. Distribution of label from 45CaCl2, 86RbCl and [3H]asparagine,incorporated through cut petioles, did not follow the same patternas label from 32P solutions.

The rate and composition of cell wall polysaccharide synthesisduring development and growth-inhibiting water deficits wereinvestigated in leaves of grape (Vitis vinifera L.). The rateof leaf expansion was monitored as plant water status was manipulatedby modulating the supply of irrigation water to potted plantsover several days. The corresponding wall synthesis was determinedby incubating leaf tissue with [14C]glucose and quantifyingincorporation into wall components. Samples were obtained fromrapidly expanding and mature leaves before, during, and following(recovery from) moderate water deficits. Uptake was approximately2-fold greater for mature leaf tissue than for rapidly expandingtissue at both high and low water status. In contrast, incorporationinto cell wall polysaccharides was 18 to 41% (under low andhigh water status) of uptake in expanding leaves but less than4% in mature tissue. Incorporation of precursor into wall polysaccharideswas insensitive to plant water status in mature leaves, butwas inhibited to less than 50% of well-watered controls in expandingleaves at low water potential. Incorporation of label into cellulose,uronic acid, and neutral sugar fractions was differentiallyaffected by water deficits, with cellulose synthesis apparentlyexhibiting the greatest sensitivity to low water status. Afterrewatering, growth, as well as uptake and incorporation of labelrecovered, although the latter did not attain prestress rates.The results indicate a high sensitivity of wall polysaccharide(particularly cellulose) synthesis to growth-inhibiting waterdeficits. 1 Supported by United States Department of Agriculture, CompetitiveResearch grant GAM 8502539.
