Bioelectric Potentials in Valonia
نویسنده
چکیده
In their influence on the P.D. across the protoplasm of Valonia macrophysa, Kütz., Li(+) and Cs(+) resemble Na(+), while Rb(+) and NH(4) (+) resemble K(+). The apparent mobilities of the ions in the external surface layer of Valonia protoplasm increase in the order: Cs(+), Na(+), Li(+) < Cl(-) < Rb(+) < K(+) < NH(4) (+).

Calculations of Bioelectric Potentials
Interest in the study of Halicystis and of Valonia has been stimulated by discoveries of marked contrasts and striking similarities existing side by side. This is illustrated by new experiments with the alkali metals and alkaline earths. In Halicystis the apparent mobilities of K(+), Rb(+), Cs(+), and Li(+) (calculated by means of Henderson's equation from changes in P.D. produced by replacing ...
متن کاملThe Relations of Temperature to the Potassium Effect and the Bioelectric Potential of Valonia
The effect of temperature upon the bioelectric potential across the protoplasm of impaled Valonia cells is described. Over the ordinary tolerated range, the P.D. is lowest around 25 degrees C., rising both toward 15 degrees and 35 degrees . The time curves are characteristic also. The magnitude of the temperature effect can be controlled by changing the KCl content of the sea water (normally 0....
متن کاملPhytochrome-mediated bioelectric potentials in mung bean seedlings.
Excised root tips from dark-grown mung bean seedlings (Phaseolus aureus) that adhere to a negatively charged glass surface when irradiated with red light and release when irradiated by far-red light develop a positive bioelectric potential (about 1.0 millivolt) at the tip in red light and a negative bioelectric potential in far-red light. The sign of the bioelectric potential was repeatedly pho...

I n a s tudy of bioelectric potent ia ls in Valonia macrophysa, the effects produced b y KC1 are especially interesting in view of the remarkable degree to which this salt is accumula ted in the cell sap. 1 The present repor t deals wi th changes in the P.D. across the p ro top lasm when a cell is t ransferred f rom natura l sea water to certain artificial solutions resembling sea water , in wh...
متن کاملHighly Sensitive Measurement of Bio-Electric Potentials by Boron-Doped Diamond (BDD) Electrodes for Plant Monitoring
We describe a sensitive plant monitoring system by the detection of the bioelectric potentials in plants with boron-doped diamond (BDD) electrodes. For sensor electrodes, we used commercially available BDD, Ag, and Pt plate electrodes. We tested this approach on a hybrid species in the genus Opuntia (potted) and three different trees (ground-planted) at different places in Japan. For the Opunti...
