A circadian rhythm in oxygen uptake by samanea pulvini.
The rate of O(2) uptake by excised Samanea pulvini oscillates with a circadian rhythm during 52 hours of darkness. Rates of respiration increase during pulvinar opening and decrease prior to and during closure, consistent with the concept that opening requires a greater expenditure of energy. Externally supplied sucrose, necessary for perpetuation of the leaflet movement rhythm, has a small pro...
متن کاملPotassium Flux and Leaf Movement in Samanea saman
Samanea leaflets usually open in white light and fold together when darkened, but also open and dose with a circadian rhythm during prolonged darkness. Leaflet movement results from differential changes in the turgor and shape of motor cells on opposite sides of the pulvinus; extensor cells expand during opening and shrink during closure, while flexor cells shrink during opening and expand duri...
متن کاملEffects of Light on the Membrane Potential of Protoplasts from Samanea saman Pulvini : Involvement of K Channels and the H -ATPase.
Rhythmic light-sensitive movements of the leaflets of Samanea saman depend upon ion fluxes across the plasma membrane of extensor and flexor cells in opposing regions of the leaf-movement organ (pulvinus). We have isolated protoplasts from the extensor and flexor regions of S. saman pulvini and have examined the effects of brief 30-second exposures to white, blue, or red light on the relative m...
متن کاملBlue light activates potassium-efflux channels in flexor cells from Samanea saman motor organs via two mechanisms.
Light-induced leaflet movement of Samanea saman depends on the regulation of membrane transporters in motor cells. Blue light (BL) stimulates leaflet opening by inducing K(+) release from the flexor motor cells. To elucidate the mechanism of K(+)-efflux (K(D))-channel regulation by light, flexor motor cell protoplasts were patch-clamped in a cell-attached configuration during varying illuminati...
متن کاملPlasma membrane aquaporins in the motor cells of Samanea saman: diurnal and circadian regulation.
Leaf-moving organs, remarkable for the rhythmic volume changes of their motor cells, served as a model system in which to study the regulation of membrane water fluxes. Two plasma membrane intrinsic protein homolog genes, SsAQP1 and SsAQP2, were cloned from these organs and characterized as aquaporins in Xenopus laevis oocytes. Osmotic water permeability (P(f)) was 10 times higher in SsAQP2-exp...
