Electrical Potentials during Gravitropism in Bean Epicotyls.
نویسندگان
چکیده
An apparatus for measuring simultaneously the surface electrical potentials along epicotyl was developed to study the largely bending situation by gravity. Potentials increased on the upper side and decreased on the lower side after the horizontal placement. The time course of electrical changes consisted of two components which correspond to growth movements observed during gravitropism.

On the nature and origin of the calcium asymmetry arising during gravitropic response in etiolated pea epicotyls.
Seven day old etiolated pea epicotyls were loaded symmetrically with 3H-indole 3-acetic acid (IAA) or 45Ca2+, then subjected to 1.5 hours of 1g gravistimulation. Epidermal peels taken from top and bottom surfaces after 90 minutes showed an increase in IAA on the lower side and of Ca2+ on the upper side. Inhibitors of IAA movement (TIBA, 9-hydroxyfluorene carboxylic acid) block the development...
متن کاملAsymmetric distribution of auxin correlates with gravitropism and phototropism but not with autostraightening (autotropism) in pea epicotyls.
The relationships between the distribution of the native auxin indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) and tropisms in the epicotyl of red light-grown pea (Pisum sativum L.) seedlings have been investigated. The distribution measurement was made in a defined zone of the third internode, using (3)H-IAA applied from the plumule as a tracer. The tropisms investigated were gravitropism, pulse-induced phototropi...
متن کاملEffect of red light on geotropism in pea epicotyls.
Dose response curves were determined for phytochrome phototransformation and for a phytochrome-controlled decrease in geotropic curvature in epicotyls of dark-grown Pisum sativum L. cv. Alaska. Ten times as much light was required to produce a spectrophotometrically detectable transformation of phytochrome as was required to produce a significant change in the geotropic response. The red light ...
متن کاملGibberellin A3 causes a decrease in the accumulation of mRNA for ACC oxidase and in the activity of the enzyme in azuki bean (Vigna angularis) epicotyls.
Differential screening, aimed at the isolation of cDNA clones of mRNAs whose accumulation is influenced by GA3, resulted in the isolation of a cDNA clone of an mRNA whose level was decreased by GA3 in segments of epicotyls of Vigna angularis. The putative protein encoded by this cDNA resembled the 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate oxidases (ACC oxidases) identified in other plant species (about...
متن کاملCellular basis of growth suppression by submergence in azuki bean epicotyls.
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Complete submergence severely reduces growth rate and productivity of terrestrial plants, but much remains to be elucidated regarding the mechanisms involved. The aim of this study was to clarify the cellular basis of growth suppression by submergence in stems. METHODS The effects of submergence on the viscoelastic extensibility of the cell wall and the cellular osmotic co...
