The circadian movement of the lamina of primary leaves of Phaseolus coccineus L. is mediated by antagonistic changes in the length of the extensor and flexor cells of the laminar pulvinus. The cortex of the pulvinus is a concentric structure composed of hexagonal disc-like cells, arranged in longitudinal rows around the central stele. Observations with polarization optics indicate that the cellulose microfibrils are oriented in a hoop-like fashion in the longitudinal walls of the motor cells. This micellation is the structural basis of the anisotropic properties of the cells: tangential sections of the extensor and flexor placed in hypotonic mannitol solutions showed changes only in length. As a consequence a linear correlation between length and volume was found in these sections. Based on the relationship between the water potential (which is changed by different concentrations of mannitol) and the relative volume of the sections and on the osmotic pressure at 50% incipient plasmolysis, osmotic diagrams were constructed for extensor and flexor tissues (cut during night position of the pulvinus). The bulk moduli of extensibility,
, were estimated from these diagrams. Under physiological conditions the
values were rather low (in extensor tissue below 10 bar, in flexor tissue between 10 to 15 bar), indicating a high extensibility of the longitudinal walls of the motor cells. They are strongly dependent on the turgor pressure at the limits of the physiological pressure range.In well-watered plants, the water potentials of the extensor and flexor tissues were surprisingly low,-12 bar and-8 bar, respectively. This means that the cells in situ are by no means fully turgid. On the contrary, the cell volume in situ is similar to the volume at the point of incipient plasmolysis: the cell volumes of extensor and flexor cells in situ were only 1.01 times and 1.1 times larger, respectively, than at the point of incipient plasmolysis, whereas at full turgidity (cells in water) the corresponding factors were 1.8 and 1.5. It is suggested that the high elasticity of the longitudinal walls, the anisotropy of the cell walls, and the low water potential of the sections which is correlated with slightly stretched cell walls in situ, are favourable and effective for converting osmotic work in changes in length of the pulvinus cells, and thus for the up and down movement of the leaf.Symbols

Summary Immunocytochemical techniques were employed to study the spatial distribution of the plasma membrane H+-ATPase within various cell types of the young reactive primary pulvinus ofMimosa pudica L. These cells were interconnected by large numbers of plasmodesmata, being concentrated within pit-fields. Although we could routinely detect evidence of the H+-ATPase along the plasma membrane, immunolabelling was rarely, if ever, observed along the plasma membranes of the plasmodesmata. This finding is discussed with respect to the likely specialized supramolecular structure of the plasmodesma.Abbreviations SEL

The lateral leaflets of Desmodium motorium exhibit rhythmic upward and downward movements with a period in the minute range. Apoplasmic K+ and H+ activities were monitored in situ in the abaxial part of the pulvini with ion-selective microelectrodes. An extracellular electric potential was recorded simultaneously. The apoplasmic H+ activity of all pulvini exhibiting a regular rhythm of the extracellular electric potential oscillated with the same period between about 10 and 20 mM. The apoplasmic K+ activity was high when the membrane potential of the motor cells was depolarized (about 36 mV) and the cells were shrunken. In contrast, the apoplasmic K+ activity was low in the swollen state of the motor cells, when the membrane potential was hyperpolarized (about -136 mV). The volatile anesthetic enflurane suppressed reversibly the movement of the leaflets. The same treatment also arrested spontaneous oscillations in the apoplasmic K+ activity in the pulvinus. The apoplasmic K+ activity oscillated roughly in phase with the K+ activity between pH 6.6 and 6.0. Application of white light disturbed the rhythm and increased the extracellular pH. Our results indicate that the physiological mechanism that drives the lateral leaflet movements of Desmodium motorium is closely related to the osmotic motors mediating the leaf movements of Mimosa, Samanea and Phaseolus.Abbreviations Em

Leaf movements of bush bean plants were studied at the relatively low photon flux density of 0.2 mmol/m2 per s, and air temperatures of 25° and 35° C in a growth chamber. A beta-ray gauge system was used to monitor continuously
pulvinus water status and bending. Leaf angles were below the horizontal and were linearly related to the soil water content
(R≥−0.91 at 25° C and R≥−0.93 at 35° C). The beta-ray transmission maxima coincided with the stem temperature minima in darkness and vice versa when
brightness prevailed as the growth chamber temperature varied with the photoperiod. Leaf angle increased linearly with increased
beta-ray transmission. The Q10 temperature coefficient, a measure of the metabolic energy requirement for leaf movement between 25° and 35° C was estimated
at 1.8, and the corresponding mean Arrhenius constant at 423 kJ/mol for bush bean.

Isolated protoplasts from pulvinar motor cells of Mimosa pudica were studied using conventional whole-cell patch clamp techniques. With internal solutions weakly buffered for Ca2+ (0.2 mm EGTA), a run-down of the outward delayed rectifier K+ current was induced by hyperpolarizing the holding potential, and this effect was strongly promoted by high external Ca2+ concentrations. This rundown could be reversed by coming back to less hyperpolarized holding potentials or by lowering the external [Ca2+]. Such rundown was absent when pipette internal solutions strongly buffered (10 mm EGTA) for Ca2+ were used. Ionomycin induced run-down of the K+ current with internal solutions containing 0.2 mm but not 10 mm EGTA. The hyperpolarization-associated rundown was reversibly blocked by Gd3+ and La3+.We thank Christophe Untereiner and Denis Wagner for expert technical assistance in facilitating the experiments and data acquisition and analysis. 相似文献

The movement of Samanea saman (Jacq.) Merrill leaflets is a consequence of the re-distribution of K+ and anions between motor cells on opposite sides of the pulvinus. We used a K+-sensitive microelectrode to study dynamic changes in K+ transport through motor-cell membranes during and immediately after change in illumination. Potassium-ion-sensitive and reference microelectrodes were inserted into extensor or flexor tissue of a whole pulvinus in white light (WL). A brief pulse of red light (RL) followed by darkness (D) (a) increased K+ activity in the extensor apoplast, indicating K+ release by the protoplast; and (b) decreased K+ activity in the flexor apoplast, indicating K+ uptake by the protoplast. White light after 35–40 min D reversed K+ activity in the extensor apoplast to approximately its original value. Blue light substituted partially for WL in this regard. Potassium-ion activity in the flexor apoplast reverted to approximately its original value after 2 h, with or without white illumination. Our data support the hypothesis that K+ efflux from extensor cells and K+ uptake by flexor cells following a WLRLD transition occurs by way of K+ channels.Abbreviations L

Glycine (1–50 mM) increases the rate of the dark-induced (scotonastic) movements and decreases the amplitude and the rate of the light-induced (photonastic) movements of the secondary pulvini of Mimosa pudica leaves. The uptake of glycine is accompanied by a long-lasting dose-dependent increase in the alkalinity of the bathing medium of the excised pulvini. The data are in agreement with a H+-glycine co-transport mechanism within the pulvinar cells. Fusicoccin (50 M), known to promote H+–K+ exchange, antagonizes the effects of glycine on the movements and the alkalization of the bathing medium of the excised pulvini. The present results argue for the hypothesis that proton fluxes mediate the scotonastic and photonastic pulvinar movements.Abbreviations Gly

Studies using excised tissues usually suffer from a discrepancy in the results between freshly excised preparations and aged ones (i.e. preparations which are allowed to rest and-or regenerate for about a day between excision and experimentation). This is especially true for measurements of the membrane potential (Vm) and its changes upon exposure to light in slices of extensor tissue of the laminar pulvini of Phaseolus coccineus L. Measurements of the V
m of extensor cells in situ reveal virtually identifical results to those obtained from aged excised preparations (more negative resting V
m; dramatic, light-induced transients of V
m), whereas freshly excised preparations display a small and light-insensitive V
m. It is concluded, therefore, that for the given example aged preparations are more suitable than fresh ones for investigating the properties of intact tissues.Symbol Vm

The period (~3-5 min) of the ultradian rhythm of the lateral leaflet movement of Desmodium motorium is strongly lengthened (≤30-40%) by the K+ channel blocker tetraethylammoniumchloride (20, 30, and 40 mM) and vanadate (0.5 and 1 mM), which is an effective inhibitor of the plasma membrane-bound H+ pump. The alkali ions K+, Na+, Rb+, and Cs+ (10-40 mM) shorten the period only slightly (≤ 10–15%). Li+ (5-30 mM), however, increases the period of the leaflet rhythm drastically (≤80%). We concluded that the plasmalemma-H+-ATP-ase-driven K+ transport through K+ channels is an essential component of the ultradian oscillator of Desmodium, as has been proposed for the circadian oscillator. 相似文献
