Osmotic Behavior of Oat Coleoptile Tissue in Relation to Growth

Osmotic Behavior of Oat Coleoptile Tissue in Relation to Growth

Efforts were made to estimate the water potential difference that is required, between rapidly growing oat coleoptile cylinders and dilute medium, to support the rate of water uptake involved in elongation, (a) by the traditional method of determining the concentration of mannitol in which the tissue neither gains nor loses water, and (b) by measuring the rates of osmotic exchanges induced by t...

morphology, geochemistry, mineralogy, and micromorphology of soils of hormozgan province in relation to parent materials

ویژگی های زمین شیمیایی، کانی شناسی، و میکرومورفولوژیکی خاک ها و سنگ مادر مربوطه در منطقه بین بخش های جنوبی زاگرس و خلیج فارس تا دریای عمان(استان هرمزگان، ایران) مورد بررسی قرار گرفت. هدف های این مطالعه شناسایی تغییرات در خصوصیات فیزیکی، شیمیایی، و ترکیب کانی شناسی خاک، مطالعه میکرومورفولوژی و تکامل خاک، و بررسی توزیع عنصر خاک بر اساس هوازدگی، پروسه های خاک و زمین شناسی جهت توصیف اثرات مواد مادر...

Sugar composition of oat-coleoptile cell walls.

Photoreversible calcium fluxes induced by phytochrome in oat coleoptile cells.

The chromometallic dye murexide was used to measure photoreversible Ca fluxes in apical tips of etiolated oat coleoptiles and in suspension cultures of protoplasts derived from the coleoptile segments. Phytochrome presence in the protoplasts was indicated by a repeatably photoreversible DeltaA(725 - 800 nm) of >0.001 A centimeters(-1), recorded on a dual wavelength spectrophotometer. Concentrat...

Rapid Hormone-induced Hyperpolarization of the Oat Coleoptile Transmembrane Potential.

The effects of the plant growth substances indoleacetic acid (IAA) and fusicoccin on the transmembrane potential of Avena coleoptile cells (at 27-29 C) were studied. Fusicoccin caused hyperpolarization of the membrane potential which started after a lag of less than 20 seconds, and which on average reached -49 mv at an external K(+) concentration of 1 mm and -75 mv at 0.1 mm K(+). IAA caused a ...
