Abstract:Effects of several organic acids on ion uptake and retention and on respiration in barley roots having low and high KCl contents were assayed by measurements of K+, Na+, Ca2+, Cl, and oxygen uptake. Organic acids with high pKa values increase the permeability of roots to ions and decrease respiration when present in sufficient concentrations at pH 5 but have no inhibitory effects at pH 7. Absence of respiratory inhibition in short times and at lower organic acid concentrations, under conditions that immediately produce a permeability increase, indicate that the permeability change is not a result of respiratory inhibition. Effects of formate, acetate, propionate, and glutarate are attributed to entry of undissociated acid molecules into the effective membranes. Lack of a permeability increase with succinate, which has lower distribution coefficients to lipid solvents than do the aliphatic acids, can be explained by failure of sufficient amounts of the hydrophilic succinic acid molecules to penetrate the membranes involved. These experiments suggest that undissociated acid in root membranes can increase permeability of the roots.
