Abstract: | The regulation of proline accumulation in detached leaves of rice(Oryza sativa cv. Taichung Native 1) was investigated.Increasing concentrations of NaCl from 50 to 200 mM progressivelyincreased proline content in detached rice leaves. NaCl induced prolineaccumulation was mainly due to the effect of both Na+ andCl– ions. Proline accumulation caused by NaCl was related toprotein proteolysis, an increase in ornithine--aminotransferaseactivity,a decrease in proline dehydrogenase activity, a decrease in prolineutilisation,and an increase in the content of the precursors of proline biosynthesis,ornithine and arginine. Results also show that proline accumulation caused byNaCl was associated with ammonium ion accumulation. |
