Measuring fluxes of mineral nutrients and toxicants in plants with radioactive tracers.
Unidirectional influx and efflux of nutrients and toxicants, and their resultant net fluxes, are central to the nutrition and toxicology of plants. Radioisotope tracing is a major technique used to measure such fluxes, both within plants, and between plants and their environments. Flux data obtained with radiotracer protocols can help elucidate the capacity, mechanism, regulation, and energetic...
متن کاملThe Interactions of Aquaporins and Mineral Nutrients in Higher Plants
Aquaporins, major intrinsic proteins (MIPs) present in the plasma and intracellular membranes, facilitate the transport of small neutral molecules across cell membranes in higher plants. Recently, progress has been made in understanding the mechanisms of aquaporin subcellular localization, transport selectivity, and gating properties. Although the role of aquaporins in maintaining the plant wat...
متن کاملRadioactive Tracers in Biology
Everybody talks about the atom, but few have more than a Sunday supplement knowledge of the simpler aspects of nuclear phenomena. The author, M.D. and Ph.D., and a member of the staff at Brookhaven, treats the story of the atom from its earliest historical conceptions to its possibilities in future war and peace. The style is of the simplest; no previous familiarity with mathematics or physics ...
متن کاملMeasuring metabolic fluxes in organs and tissues with single and multiple tracers.
The rates of metabolic pathways in vivo are frequently measured by using molecules labelled with either radioactive or stable isotopes. Such investigations usually involve administering only one labelled substance and, with large commercial species and man, are often additionally restricted to measuring fluxes in the whole animal. Although these relatively simple procedures have provided a bedr...
متن کاملMineral Nutrients Content in Zinc- and Cadmium-treated Durum Wheat Plants with Similar Growth Inhibition
High Cd concentrations and excess Zn often interfere with mineral nutrients uptake by ion competition as well as affecting membrane permeability (Siedleska, 1995). The induced changes in cell ion homeostasis generally provoke different physiological disorders resulting finally in plant growth inhibition. It has been suggested that Cd and Zn have a similar mode of toxic action (Breckle, 1991; Cl...
