The effect of wilting on proline metabolism in excised bean leaves in the dark.

چکیده
The effects of wilting on the fate of proline and on the rates of nonprotein proline formation and utilization have been determined in excised bean leaves. Wilting did not alter the fate of exogenously added (14)C-l-proline (2 mm) in either non-starved leaves (from plants previously in the light) or starved leaves (from plants previously in the dark). The fate of proline in nonstarved leaves was protein synthesis and in starved leaves was protein synthesis and oxidation to other compounds.Wilting caused an increase in non-protein proline formation, possibly including release by proteolysis and synthesis from precursors in both starved and nonstarved leaves. Wilting caused a decrease in proline utilization in nonstarved leaves by decreasing protein synthesis. In starved leaves, wilting caused an increase in the rate of proline utilization but this is due to the higher content of proline in wilted leaves compared to the turgid leaves which causes more proline utilization by oxidation. Thus, the primary effects of wilting which lead to the accumulation of proline were to decrease protein synthesis and to increase proline formation. The source of the proline is not known but the increased formation due to wilting is not affected by the carbohydrate content of the leaf. The role of carbohydrates is to prevent the loss of accumulating proline by oxidation.

Effect of Wilting on Carbohydrates during Incubation of Excised Bean Leaves in the Dark.
Excised bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) leaves were used to compare the changes in various carbohydrates during dark incubation in a wilted and turgid condition. After a rapid (less than 1 hour) wilt, leaves were incubated at a constant water content (75% of original fresh weight).The starch content of the wilted leaves decreased faster than it did in the turgid leaves. This accelerated starch loss w...

Excised bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) leaves were used to measure changes in proline content and proline metabolism during rehydration in the dark after the leaves had been incubated in the dark 24 hours in a wilted condition.The increase in nonprotein proline which occurs in wilted leaves stopped immediately upon rehydration, and thereafter levels of proline declined. The rate of decline and the f...

The effect of carbohydrate on arginine utilization by excised bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L. var.

In nonstarved leaves, the arginine content decreased steadily after vacuum infiltration of 10 mm arginine and was essentially comple...

The effect of wilting on proline synthesis, proline oxidation, and protein synthesis-all of which contribute to proline accumulation-was determined in nonstarved barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) leaves. Nonstarved leaves were from plants previously in the light for 24 hours and starved leaves were from plants previously in the dark for 48 hours. Wilted leaves from nonstarved plants accumulated proli...
