Translocation of C14 in Sugarcane

Electrogenic proton translocation by the ATPase of sugarcane vacuoles.

Existence of a proton-translocating ATPase on the tonoplast of higher plants has been further confirmed by use of two experimental systems: (a) intact isolated vacuoles from sugarcane cells and (b) vesicles prepared from the same source. Addition of MgATP to vacuoles polarized the tonoplast by 40 millivolts to a value of +20 millivolts, but a large preexisting pH gradient across the membrane re...

absorption and translocation of c14-labelled glyphosate and 2,4-d in populations of swallow-worts (cynanchum acutuml.) in iran

in order to investigate the absorption and translocation of glyphosate and 2,4-d during various stages of growth in swallow-worts weed populations, this study was carried out in 2010 at the iranian agricultural, medical and industerial research institute of atomic energy organization. treatments used in this study included three different stages of growth, four weed ecotypes of swallow-worts, a...

Metabolism of Coprostanol-c14 and Cholestanol-4-c14 in Man.

Translocation of carbon-14 in sugarcane plants supplied with or deprived of phosphorus.

Translocation of radioactive carbon from the fed part of a blade to the rest of the plant was impaired by a deficiency in phosphorus only when the level of phosphorus was low enough to decrease growth.Phosphorus deficiency decreased the percentage of inorganic phosphorus more than that of organic phosphorus, indicating little effect of phosphorus deficiency upon phosphorylation.Thus phosphorus ...

UDP-Glucose-Dependent Sucrose Translocation in Tonoplast Vesicles from Stalk Tissue of Sugarcane.

Tonoplast vesicles isolated from stalk parenchyma tissue of sugarcane plants transport sucrose via a uridine diphosphate glucose (UDPGlc)-dependent group translocator. No sucrose transport via an ATP-dependent system could be detected. The products of UDPGlc uptake in the vesicles were sucrose and sucrose phosphate which, upon hydrolysis with alkaline phosphatase and invertase, showed that both...
