Macduff, J. H., Hopper, M. J., Wild, A. and Trim, F. 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. Key words: Brassica napus, oilseed rape, root temperature, cation-anion balance, H+/OH efflux. 相似文献

Hansen, A. P. and Pate, J. S. 1987. Evaluation of the 15N naturalabundance method and xylem sap analysis for assessing N2 fixationof understorey legumes in jarrah (Eucalyptus marginata Donnex Sm.) forest in S.W. Australia.J. exp. Bot 38: 14461458. Nodulated seedlings of Acacia pulchella, A. alata and A. extensawere grown in glasshouse sand culture under a range of levels(016 mol m3) of nitrate, supplied as 15NO3, or as unenrichedlaboratory grade nitrate (15N value 5·5%o). Nitrate at8·0 mol m 3 or above was highly inhibitory to growthof all species. Using 15N dilution analysis of the 15N enrichedcultures to measure symbiotic dependency, it was shown that15N values of the parallel unenriched cultures increased innear linear fashion from close to zero in fully symbiotic plantsto values close to that of the supplied NO3 in plants experiencingnitrate levels (4·0 mol m3 or above) inhibiting N2 fixationby over 90%. Xylem sap analyses (0·4 mol m3 NO3 treatments)showed asparagine as the major nitrogenous solute, relativelylittle spill-over of free nitrate, and no evidence of majorshifts in balance of amino compounds with increasing dependenceon nitrate. This essentially invalidated use of the techniqueas a field assay for N2 fixation by the species. 15N values for total N of soil sampled at 64 widely distributedsites in jarrah forest ranged from 2·15 to +5·4(mean +2·1). Comparable values for soil mineral N (NH+4and NO3) were +0·3 to + 14·2 (mean +5·1).15N values of the total plant N of the legumes and of non-N2-fixingreference species were also highly variable between sites, withlittle evidence of reference plant N accurately reflecting the15N abundance of soil nitrogen, or of visibly well nodulatedlegume components showing consistently lower 15N values thantheir companion reference plants. At one site it was possibleto compare 15N values of first season seedling legumes withpreviously published estimates of their progressive N2 fixationusing C2H2 reduction assays. It was concluded that heterogeneity in 15N discrimination ofsoil within the ecosystem precluded effective use of the 15Nnatural abundance technique for assessing legume N2 fixation.

Short-term Effects of Ferulic Acid on Ion Uptake and Water Relations in Cucumber Seedlings 总被引:7,自引:0,他引:7
Ferulic acid (FA) is commonly found in soils and is consideredan allelochemical. Studies have suggested that FA and otherphenolic acids decrease plant growth in part by decreasing theabsorption of mineral nutrients and water. However, no studieshave examined these parameters in a single experimental systemto investigate how FA affected both ion uptake and plant-waterrelations in whole plants. Using intact cucumber (Cucumis sativusL. cv. Early Green Cluster) seedlings, we examined short-termeffects of FA on ion uptake kinetics, transport promoters andinhibitors, and water relations as indicated by a pressure-volumeanalysis. We found that after 3 h of treatment, 200 µMFA inhibited net ion uptake, particularly NO3, and promotednet K+ efflux from seedling roots. The addition of fusicoccin,a K+ transport promoter, counteracted the inhibitory effectof FA on net K+ uptake. Concurrent treatment of seedlings withFA and tetraethylammonium, a channel-blocking salt, reducedaverage K+ efflux by 66%. Treatment of seedlings with FA alsodecreased leaf water potential (1 and turgor pressure (PT).However, decreased 1 and PT were not caused by changes in theosmotic properties of the symplast or stomatal conductance.A decrease in water absorption is a likely explanation for theloss of PT observed. The results of our experiments indicatethat both ion uptake and plant-water relations can be adverselyaffected by FA.

Shelp, B. J. 1987. Plant characteristics and nutrient compositionand mobility of broccoli (Brassica oleracea var. italica) suppliedwith NH+4, NO3 or NH4NO3.J. exp. Bot. 38: 16031618. The effects of varying NH+4, NO3 or NH4NO3 concentration onthe final plant characteristics, element composition, and accumulationof NO3-N, NH+4-N and organic-N were evaluated in broccoli (Brassicaoleracea var. italicacv. Futura and Premium Crop) plants culturedin vermiculite under greenhouse conditions supplemented withlight. NH+4-grown plants were stunted and exhibited signs ofmarginal necrosis on the old leaves, accompanied by an accumulationof NH4. The tissue levels of N, P, Mn, Cu, Zn and B were generallyincreased by NH+4 versus NO3 nutrition whereas the reverse wastrue for Ca; Mg and K were only slightly affected, if at all.These results are attributed to: changes in element availabilityresulting from reduced rhizosphere pH due to NH+4uptake ratherthan NO 3uptake; competition of Ca uptake by NH+4; and dilutionof N by increased vegetative growth with NO3-nutrition. Theelement concentrations of N, P or K were similar in all tissueswhereas Ca, B and Mn were markedly less in the florets and youngleaves compared to mature leaves; this supports literature indicatingthat the former elements are phloem-mobile whereas the latterare not. Assuming that the nutrient supply for mature leavesis delivered principally via the xylem stream, the data suggestthat nutrients for developing leaves and florets are suppliedpredominantly in the phloem. If so, under our experimental conditions.Zn and Cu were also readily mobile in the phloem whereas Mgmovement was restricted. NH4+ versus NO4+ J nutrition alteredthe distribution of these elements. The two broccoli cultivarstested under the greenhouse environment differed in NH+4 toleranceand in the distribution of K and Cu suggesting there was a geneticbasis for cultivar variation in mineral acquisition and redistribution. Key words: Plant nutrition, phloem mobility, elemental composition. 相似文献

Ellis, E. C. and Spanswick, R. M. 1987. Sugar efflux from attachedseed coats of Glycine max (L.) Merr.J. exp. Bot. 38:14701483. Sugar efflux (sucrose + glucose) from attached seed coats ofGlycine max (L.) Merr. was measured at high sampling rates toimprove the kinetic characterization of seed coat exudation.This study confirms that sugar efflux in seed coats has at leasttwo components, and demonstrates that the concentration of mannitolosmoticum bathing the seed coat may influence one or both ofthese components. High leaf irradiance increased sugar effluxrelative to a low leaf irradiance at the same mannitol concentration.A high concentration of mannitol (500 mol m3) enhanced sugarefflux relative to a medium concentration (100 mol m3) underboth high and low leaf irradiance. A low mannitol concentration(10 mol m3) stimulated sugar efflux (relative to 100 mol m3)to a greater extent when leaf irradiance was high. Rapid changesin mannitol concentration produced immediate stimulations ofsugar efflux. Effects of osmoticum on sugar efflux are explainedby simultaneous turgor-mediated effects on import of sucroseby the phloem and retrieval of apoplastic sucrose, presumablyby seed coat parenchyma. 相似文献

Shelp, B. J. 1987. The composition of phloem exudate and xylemsap from broccoli (Brassica oleracea var. italica) suppliedwith NH+4, NO3 or NH4NO3.J. exp. Bot. 38: 16191636. The detailed composition of xylem sap and exudate from stemincisions of attached inflorescences of broccoli (Brassica oleraceavar. italica) was compared in plants supplied with NH+4, NO3or NH4NO3. A phloem origin for the exudate was suggested fromthe high levels of sugars (71133 mg cm-3), amino acids(8·1-26·7 mg cm3) and K. (2·33·8mg cm3), the low levels of NO3 and Ca, the high C: N (w/w) ratios(8·333), and the alkaline pH (7·27·3).In contrast, the xylem sap was mildly acidic (pH 5·66·0),and possessed lower levels of all organic and inorganic solutesbut NO3 and Ca, and lower ratios of K: Ca, Mg: Ca and C: N (0·64·4). Glutamine was the predominant o-phthalaldehyde-reactive aminocompound in both transport fluids with the next most abundantamino acids dependent on sap type and N-form. Together witharginine, -aminobutyric acid, which was found only in the xylemstream, was enhanced by NH+4compared to NO3 -nutrition suggestingthat glutamate metabolism was stimulated in the roots. Underlimiting N the amino acid concentrations in the transport fluidswere greater with NH+4 than with NO3. NO3 reduction occurredin both the root and shoot with the latter site predominatingover the entire N range (0-300 mol m3). Even though the compositionof nitrogenous solutes in the xylem was dependent on cultivarand N source, the composition of the phloem streams supplyingthe developing inflorescence was relatively unaffected. The data on the element composition of organs and phloem sapare interpreted to suggest that, in spite of the restrictedmobility of some elements such as B and Mn, a significant proportionof their total supply to developing sinks is carried in thephloem stream. Key words: Transport fluid composition, plant nutrition, phloem mobility. 相似文献

Stomatal Control of Photosynthesis of Eucalyptus globulus Labill. Trees under Field Conditions in Portugal 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
Pereira, J. S., Tenhunen, J. D. and Lange, O. L. 1987. Stomatalcontrol of photosynthesis of Eucalyptus globulus Labill. treesunder field conditions in Portugal.J. exp. Bot. 38: 16781688. Stomatal behaviour of adult leaves of Eucalyptus globulus treeswas studied under field conditions in Portugal. In the absenceof severe plant water stress stomata were open when the summedtotal of photosynthetically active photon flux density incidenton both leaf surfaces was above 100 µmol m2s1 and leafconductance to water vapour reached 245 mmol m 2 s1 on a total(both epidermes) leaf area basis. The stomata of both leaf epidermesresponded similarly to changes in solar radiation and waterstress. Water stress resulted in decreasing daily maxima inleaf conductance as predawn leaf water potential decreased.Maximal leaf conductance decreased to less than 50 mmol m 2s 1 when predawn leaf water potential decreased below 1·0MPa. At similar values of predawn leaf water potential stomatawere more closed as the leaf to air water vapour partial pressuredifference increased. The effect of increasing air dryness onstomata was greatest at high predawn leaf water potential. Dailymaxima in photosynthetic rates and in leaf conductance werelinearly related to one another in spring and summer. Both decreasedwith increase in leaf water stress. In autumn and winter, increasesin leaf conductance occurring under natural conditions duringthe course of the day were not necessarily accompanied by increasesin net photosynthesis. Stomata were more closed in the afternoonthan in the morning at the same rates of net photosynthesis,temperature or leaf to air water vapour partial pressure difference.

The use of the anti-ozonant ethylenediurea (EDU) to assess croplosses due to atmospheric ozone (O3), is controversial becauseof incomplete knowledge on the optimal dosage, the extent ofprotection provided and potential effects on plant performanceof EDU per se. In a greenhouse experiment, radish (Raphanussativus L.) cv. Cherry Belle plants were treatedwith EDU as a soil drench (150 mg11, 60 ml plant1) at threestages of development: early, maximum and late hypocotyl thickening.Two days later the plants were exposed to O3, mimicking an ambientpattern (70 nl 11 O3, 7 h d1, 5 d, and up to 120 nl 11 O3 on2 d), or remained in filtered air. Assessment of leaf injury showed complete protection from ozone-inducedleaf damage at all stages of growth due to EDU. EDU did causeslight leaf margin necrosis and hyponastic leaf deformationirrespective of the atmospheric treatment, but biomass and relativegrowth rate (RGR) of the shoot and leaf number duration werenot altered and leaf area duration was increased when comparedto control plants. EDU did not affect dry weight accumulationnor RGR of the hypocotyl. Ozone-induced reductions in growthof below-ground organs (hypocotyl and root), which were mostprominent in the intermediate and early stage of growth, werelargely suppressed by the EDU-treatment. Decreases of hypocotylbiomass due to O3 were transient and significant increases inRGR of the hypocotyl during the post-exposure period indicateda substantial capability of compensation during the period ofrecovery.

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 Relationship Between Transpiration Rate, Water Potential, and Resistances to Water Movement in Sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
The effects of transpiration rate on the vertical gradientsof leaf and stem xylem water potential ( and ) were examinedusing hydroponic sunflower plants. Transpiration was variedby stepwise alterations of environmental conditions. The gradientsof and were relatively small (2.3 and 0.8 x 105 Pa m1)when transpiration rates approached zero, but increased sharplyto 5.4 and 2.3 x 105 Pa m1 as transpiration increased.However, the gradients were independent of transpiration ratesabove 0.4 g dm2 h1 owing to variability of theplant resistance. The gradients of I were usually less thanhalf those of I. 1 in individual leaves remained constant over a wide range oftranspiration rates (0.42.4 g dm2 h1) andeach leaf possessed a characteristic plateau value related toits elevation. I responded similarly but was approximately 2.0x 105 Pa higher than I at the same elevation. Identical resultswere obtained regardless of the procedure employed to vary transpiration. The drop in water potential between stem and leaf implies thatthe leaf resistance is appreciable. This was confirmed usingrapidly transpiring excised leaves freely supplied with water.I increased by 2.02.5 x 105 Pa following removal of theroot resistance but remained 2 x 105 Pa lower than similar excisedleaves in darkness. Furthermore, I in excised leaves remainedconstant over a wide range of transporting rates, demonstratingthat the leaf resistance is also variable. The results are discussed in relation to previous reports. 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

Du Cloux, H. C, André, M., Daguenet, A. and Massinuno,J. 1987. Wheat response to CO2 enrichment: Growth and CO2 exchangesat two plant densities.J. exp. Bot. 38: 14211431. The vegetative growth of wheat (Triticum aestivum L., var. Capitole)was followed for almost 40 d after germination in controlledconditions. Four different treatments were carried out by combiningtwo air concentrations of CO2, either normal (330 mm3 dm 3)or doubled (660 mm3 dm 3) with two plant densities, either 200plants m 2 or 40 plants m 2. Throughout the experiment the CO2gas exchanges of each canopy were measured 24 h d1. These provideda continuous growth curve for each treatment, which were comparedwith dry weights. After a small stimulation at the start (first13 d), no further effect of CO2 enrichment was observed on relativegrowth rate (RGR). However, RGR was stimulated throughout theexperiment when plotted as a function of biomass. The finalstimulation ol dry weight at 660 mm3 dm 3 CO2 was a factor of1·45 at high density and 1·50 at low density,contrary to other studies, no diminution of this CO2 effecton dry weight was observed over time. Nevertheless, at low density,a transient additional enhancement of biomass (up to 1·70)was obtained at a leaf area index (LAI) below 1. This effectwas attributed to a different build up of the gain of carbonin the case of an isolated plant or a closed canopy. In theformer, the stimulation of leaf area and the net assimilationrate are both involved; in the latter the enhancement becomesindependent of the effect on leaf area because the canopy photosynthesisper unit ground area as a function of LAI reaches a plateau.

Fidgeon, C. and Wilson, G. 1987. Growth regulation of Galiummollugo L. cell suspensions by -naphthalene acetic acid.J.exp. Bot. 38: 14911500. Galium mollugo cell suspension cultures were found to requirethe plant growth regulator -naphthalene acetic acid (-NAA) forcontinued growth and cell division. This requirement could notbe substituted in either batch or semi-continuous culture byindole-3-acetic acid (IAA) or 2,4-dichlorophenoxy acetic acid(2,4-D) at any concentration tested. However, ß-naphthaleneacetic acid (ß-NAA) and indole-3-butyric acid (IBA)were found to support growth when supplied at a concentrationtwo orders of magnitude greater than the normal media level(05 mg dm3). The growth of Galium cells was found to be influenced not onlyby the -NAA initially supplied in the medium but also by theexposure to -NAA in previous growth cycles. Preculture of cellsfor 3 d in an -NAA containing medium, followed by cell washingand re-inoculation into -NAA free medium, supported a quantitativegrowth response similar to that obtained after 14 d in the control-NAA containing medium. Even short-term exposures between 0·5and 6·0 h stimulated a detectable growth response 14d later. These observations raise questions relating to theuptake and perception of exogenously supplied growth regulatorsby cultured cells. The delayed kinetics of this form of response is of significancein culture regimes in which cells are transferred from one mediumto another, differing in their growth regulator composition,in order to induce morphogenesis 相似文献

Galium mollugo cell suspensions require -NAA for continued growthand cell division. The kinetics of -NAA uptake from the medium(B5) by Galium cells was assessed using 1-14C -NAA in a standardratio of cells to medium (0.25 g: 2.5 cm3). It was found thatthe uptake of -NAA was rapid, over 90% being taken up within4 h. Cells which had accumulated -NAA for 4 h or more did notrelease it back into the medium. It was found that Galium cellsaccumulated -NAA against a significant concentration gradient;suggesting the participation of an active component in the uptakemechanism. The effect of free-space and surface adsorption onthe uptake of -NAA was determined by means of a repeated washtechnique. These two factors were found to be of importanceonly during the first hour of uptake. Neither dead cells norplasmolysed cells absorbed -NAA. It is clear that, in the normal growth cycle, Galium cells cantake up the available -NAA within 3 or 4 h of inoculation andthat this can stimulate a cell division response of 3-4 generationsover the subsequent 14 d.

Macklon, A. E. S. and Sim, A. 1987. Cellular cobalt fluxes inroots and transport to the shoots of wheat seedlings.J.exp. Bot. 38: 16631677. From compartmental analysis of radioisotope elution measurements,concentrations and fluxes of cobalt were estimated for corticalcells of wheat (Triticum aestivum L. cv. Fenman) seedling roots,relative to a complete nutrient solution containing 20 mmolm3 Co2 + . The water free space, Donnan free space and cytoplasmcontained little Co relative to the high levels accumulatedin the vacuole, resulting in time courses of Co uptake whichwere essentially linear in continuous light. In light/dark cyclesthere was almost complete inhibition of uptake during the darkperiods. Comparison of estimated concentrations of Co in cytoplasmand vacuole with values to be expected, if passive diffusionalone was operative, indicated that active transport was occurringin an outward direction at the plasmalemma and into the vacuoleat the tonoplast. Transport to the shoot, which was unaffectedby transpirational water flux through the plant, reached about10% of root absorbed Co, most of which was stored in the corticalcell vacuoles and removed from the transport pathway. Between0·02 and 20 mmol m 3 Co in external solution, uptakewas linearly related to concentration on a log/log plot, andthe proportion of transported Co was constant. The implicationsof these findings are discussed. Key words: Cobalt, transmembrane fluxes, transport. 相似文献

This work aimed to study the impacts of acquisition and assimilationof various nitrogen sources, i.e. NO3, NH4+ or NH4NO3,in combination with gaseous NH3 on plant growth and acid-basebalance in higher plants. Plants of C3 Triticum aestivum L.and C4 Zea mays L. grown with shoots in ambient air in hydroponicculture solutions with 2 mol m3 of nitrogen source asNO3, NH4+ or NH4NO3 for 21 d and 18 d, respectively,had their shoots exposed either to 320 µg m3 NH3or to ambient air for 7 d. Variations in plant growth (leaves,stubble and roots), and OH and H+ extrusions as wellas the relative increases in nitrogen, carbon and carboxylatewere determined. These data were computed as H+/N, H+/C, (C-A)/N,and (C-A)/C to analyse influences of different nitrogen sourceson acid-base balance in C3 Triticum aestivum and C4 Zea maysplants. Root growth in dry weight gain was significantly reduced bytreatment with 320 µg m3 NH3 in Triticum aestivumand Zea mays growing with different N-forms, whereas leaf growthwas not significantly affected by NH3. In comparison with C3Triticum aestivum, non-fumigated C4 Zea mays had low ratiosof OH/N in NO33-grown plants and of H+/N in NH4+- and NH 4NO3-grown plants. Utilization of NH3 from the atmospherereduced both the OHN ratios in NO3 -grown plantsand the H+/N ratio in NH4+ - and NH4NO3 -grown plants of bothspecies. Furthermore, Zea mays had higher ratios of (C-A)/Nin NH4+ - and NH4NO3-grown plants than Triticum aestivum. Thismeans that C4 Zea mays had synthesized more organic anion perunit increase in organic N than C3 Triticum aestivum plants.Within both species, different nitrogen sources altered theratios of (C-A)/N in the order: NH4NO3>NH4+>NO3.Fumigation with NH3 increased organic acid synthesis in NO3- and NH4+ - grown plants of Triticum aestivum, whereas it decreasedorganic acid synthesis in Zea mays plants under the same conditions.Furthermore, these differences in acid-base regulation betweenC3 Triticum aestivum and C4 Zea mays plants growing with differentnitrogen sources are discussed.

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.

Ion contents and concentrations (K+, Na+, Cl, Ca2+, Mg2+,SO24, NO3, HPOJ24, amino and organic acids)of P. purpurea have been studied in relation to salinity variation.Cells were shown to accumulate large amounts of K+ and Clagainst their respective gradients of electrochemical potentialin all dilute and concentrated seawater media. Active influxof SOJ24, NO3, and HPOJ24 is also suggested,while Na+ is actively excluded from cells under hyposaline andhypersaline conditions. The relative proportions of individualcomponents of the internal osmotic potential were found to changeaccording to the external salt concentration. KCL forms themajor fraction of j} in concentrated seawater media while K+-aminoacids form the major fraction in dilute seawaters. Other intracellularsolutes comprise less than 15% oftj, in all media. Unidirectional fluxes of K+ and Cl were studied by radioisotopicmeans. Fluxes of K+ and Cl are reduced in hyposalinemedia, as is absolute KCL content per cell. Intracelhilar KCLcontent was also found to be markedly dependent upon externalK+ concentration, rather than water potential. Changes in KC1levels induced by salinity variation occur over a 6 h period. 相似文献

Intracellular pH Regulation in Ricinus communis Grown with Ammonium or Nitrate as N Source: The Role of Long Distance Transport 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6
Allen, S. and Raven, J. A. 1987. Intracellular pH regulationin Ricinus communis grown with ammonium or nitrate as N source:the role of long distance transport.J. exp. Bot. 38:580596. Charge balance and intracellular pH regulation were studiedin Ricinus communis grown in water culture with 10 molm3 or l-0 mol m 3 as sole N source. Seedling and 70-d-old plant parts were analysed for total P, C, organic N and S, and ash alkalinity;xylem and phloem saps were analysed for mineral ion content,and amino acids, amides, and dicarboxylates. Excreted H+ andbase were also measured. It was shown that in -N plants, H + produced and excreted directly bythe roots accounted for all net COOH produced in theplant, but not for cation uptake by net H+ exchange. IntracellularpH perturbation in the shoot was regulated partly by reduction and partly by the transportof OH- -generating dicarboxylates in the xylem. Phloem sap hadthe capacity to transport organic N and carboxylates excessto shoot requirements back to the root. In -N plants, 60% of total reduction occurred in the root, and 70% of all OH- produced by root and reduction was excreted directly as base. Very little COOfrom root reduction was stored in the root: most was transported to the shoot as xylem dicarboxylateand stored in the shoot. Of the OH- produced from shoot and reduction, 40% was stored as shoot carboxylate: the phloem saphad the capacity to transport the rest back to the roots whereit was excreted as base. Key words: Intracellular pH, ammonium nutrition, nitrate nutrition, xylem dicarboxylates, phloem dicarboxylates, charge balance 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
