Calcium influx into corn roots as a result of cold shock.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Corn roots or washed corn root tissue exposed to cold shock absorb 20 to 24% more (45)Ca(2+) into a nonexchangeable phase than control roots. Addition to fusicoccin largely prevents this additional calcium influx. The results are discussed in relation to injury-induced changes in membrane permeability of root cell membranes.

Calcium in the regulation of gravitropism by light.
The red light requirement for positive gravitropism in roots of corn (Zea mays cv "Merit") provides an entry for examining the participation of calcium in gravitropism. Applications of calcium chelators inhibit the light response. Calcium channel blockers (verapamil, lanthanum) can also inhibit the light response, and a calcium ionophore, A23187, can substitute for light. One can substitute ...
متن کاملCold calcium signaling in Arabidopsis involves two cellular pools and a change in calcium signature after acclimation.
Cold shock elicits an immediate rise in cytosolic free calcium concentration ([Ca2+]cyt) in both chilling-resistant Arabidopsis and chilling-sensitive tobacco (Nicotiana plumbaginifolia). In Arabidopsis, lanthanum or EGTA caused a partial inhibition of both cold shock [Ca2+]cyt elevation and cold-dependent kin1 gene expression. This suggested that calcium influx plays a major role in the cold s...
متن کاملEnergy-linked Potassium Influx as Related to Cell Potential in Corn Roots.
Cell potentials and K(+) ((86)Rb) influx were determined for corn roots over a wide range of external K(+) activity (K degrees ) under control, anoxic, and uncoupled conditions. The data were analyzed using Goldman theory for the contribution of passive influx to total influx. For anoxic and uncoupled roots the K(+) influx shows the functional relationship with K degrees predicted with constant...
متن کاملAdenine Nucleotide Content of Corn Roots as Affected by Injury
The adenine nucleotide content of the 2-centimeter segments excised from tray-grown corn (Zea mays L., WF9 x MoI7) roots declines for the first hour after excision. Concomitant with the loss of adenine nucleotides is a decline in respiration and a leakage of K+. With continued washing, these parameters partially or completely recover and increased phosphate influx develops. Increasing the wound...
متن کاملCold-shock regulation of the Arabidopsis TCH genes and the effects of modulating intracellular calcium levels.
The Arabidopsis TCH genes, which encode calmodulin-related proteins and a xyloglucan endotransglycosylase, are shown to be up-regulated in expression following cold shock. We investigated a possible role of fluctuations in intracellular calcium ion concentrations ([Ca2+]) in the cold-shock-induced TCH gene expression. Transgenic plants harboring the apoaequorin gene were generated to monitor [C...
