Steady State Sodium and Rubidium Effluxes in Pisum sativum Roots.
نویسنده
چکیده
Steady state effluxes of potassium and sodium ions were measured on Pisum sativum var. Alaska root segments excised from seedlings which had grown in a nutrient solution containing the major inorganic ions and either (86)Rb as a tracer for K or (22)Na as a tracer for Na. Fluxes appeared to be from 2 cellular compartments, a small compartment with a high flux rate and a larger compartment with a slow flux rate. Cell wall exchange fluxes are believed to have been negligible. Efflux rates for 11.3% and 88.7% of cellular potassium ions were 6 x 10(-7) and 1.32 x 10(-7) respectively; rates for 33.7% and 66.3% of cellular sodium ions were 1.48 x 10(-7) and 3.83 x 10(-8) respectively, (equivalents per gram fr wt per hr). The sodium flux measurements, with previous measurements of ionic concentrations and transmembrane potentials, support the theory that sodium is transported actively from Pisum roots.

Effect of gramicidin A and thallium ions on cation effluxes in frog sartorius muscle.
The effluxes of potassium, rubidium, sodium and lithium from the sartorius muscle of Rana temporaria in magnesium-Ringer solution free of sodium and potassium have been studied with the flame-emission technique. The channel-forming antibiotic gramicidin A (2.5 X X10(-7)-1 X 10(-6) mol/l) enhanced the efflux of potassium and rubidium and increased the rate constants of these effluxes. Gramicidin...
متن کاملEffect of growth in highly salinized media on the enzymes of the photosynthetic apparatus in pea seedlings.
The rate of chlorophyll formation in initially etiolated pea seedlings (Pisum sativum) that are growing in the light in salinized media is slower than in similar plants not subjected to salinity. However, the final steady state level of chlorophyll is the same under both conditions. Growth under saline conditions did not change the ratio of dry weight to wet weight in the plant leaves nor the s...
متن کاملHigh-quality permanent draft genome sequence of Rhizobium leguminosarum bv. viciae strain GB30; an effective microsymbiont of Pisum sativum growing in Poland
Rhizobium leguminosarum bv. viciae GB30 is an aerobic, motile, Gram-negative, non-spore-forming rod that can exist as a soil saprophyte or as a legume microsymbiont of Pisum sativum. GB30 was isolated in Poland from a nodule recovered from the roots of Pisum sativum growing at Janow. GB30 is also an effective microsymbiont of the annual forage legumes vetch and pea. Here we describe the feature...

Organisms must have efficient mechanisms of DNA repair and recombination to prevent alterations in their genetic information due to DNA damage. There is evidence for DNA repair and recombination in plastids of higher plants, although very little is known at the biochemical level. Many chloroplast proteins are of eubacterial ancestry, suggesting that the same could be true for the components of ...
متن کاملEthylene is involved in vascular cavity formation in pea (Pisum sativum) primary roots
A lengthy cavity usually forms in the vascular cylinders of pea (Pisum sativum) primary roots in response to sudden flooding at 25°C. This is thought to be a form of aerenchyma. Ethylene has been shown to mediate inducible aerenchyma in maize, therefore the role of ethylene in the formation of cavities in pea roots was examined. Pea seedlings grown for 4 d in 2 L beakers in vermiculite moistene...
