Apoplastic Sugar Concentration and pH in Barley Leaves Infected with Brown Rust
Authors:TETLOW  I J; FARRAR  J F
Abstract:Soluble sugars were extracted by low speed centrifugation fromthe apoplast of leaves of barley (Hordeum distichum L.) infiltratedwith water. Infection of the leaf with the brown rust fungus(Puccinia hordeii) resulted in a reduction in the concentrationof sucrose, glucose and fructose in the apoplast. Sugars werepresent in an apoplastic space occupying 12 and 17 cm3 m–2of leaf area in healthy and infected tissue, respectively. Uptakeof hexoses by intercellular hyphae is suggested as a cause ofthis reduction. The pH of apoplastic sap extracted from rust-infectedleaves was increased to pH 7·3 from pH 6·6 incontrols. The effect of a reduced apoplastic sugar pool andincreased pH on export from infected leaves is discussed. Key words: Apoplast, barley (Hordeum distichum L.), brown rust (Puccinia hordeii Otth.), pH, sucrose, hexose
