Abstract: | Using permeabilized characean cells in which the ionic conditionsat the cytoplasmic side of the tonoplast are easily controlled,effects of Ca2+ ion on tonoplast potential were examined. Whenthe cell was treated with 1 µM Ca2+, the tonoplast potential(EM became positive in a complicated manner in Chara corallinawhile it simply became negative in Nitella axilliformis. Whenthe cell was treated with 9-antracenecarboxylic acid, a Cl-channelinhibitor, Em became more negative and the response of Em toCa2+ was significantly suppressed. It is suggested that Ca2+activates Cl-channel at a low concentration and inactivatesat a higher one in C. corallina while it simply inactivate Cl-channelin N. axilliformis. 1Present address: Biological Laboratory, The University of theAir, Wakaba 2-11, Wakaba, 260 Japan.
