Abstract: | A procedure is described to isolated functional protoplasts from developing soybean (Glycine max L. Merr. cv Wye) cotyledons. Studies of sucrose and hexose uptake into these protoplasts show that the plasmalemma of cotyledons during the stage of rapid seed growth contains a sucrose-specific carrier which is energetically and kinetically distinct from the system(s) involved in hexose transport. For example, sucrose, but not hexose uptake: (a) is inhibited by alkaline pH and the nonpermeant SH modifier, p-chloromercuribenzene sulfonic acid; (b) is stimulated by fusicoccin; (c) shows both a saturable and a linear component of uptake in response to substrate concentration; and (d) displays a sharp temperature response (high Q10 value and high activation energies). |
