Journal ArticleDOI
Evidence for the coupling of proton extrusion to K+ uptake in pea internode segments treated in fusicoccin or auxin
TL;DR: A satisfactory correlation between the stimulatory effect on proton extrusion and that on K + uptake appears to exist even in the very first phase of treatment with FC, provided the segments are preincubated in buffers at pH 5.5.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Ca2+-Transport ATPase of Plant Plasma Membrane Catalyzes a nH+/Ca2+ Exchange
TL;DR: Results indicate that Ca2+ transport in microsomal vesicles from 24-hour-old radish seedlings is catalyzed by a Mg2+-dependent ATPase localized on the plasma membrane, which catalyzes a nH+/Ca2+ exchange which reduces ΔpH generation and increases MgATP-dependent membrane potential difference ( Δψ) generation.
Journal ArticleDOI
H+-pumping driven by the plasma membrane ATPase in membrane vesicles from radish: stimulation by fusicoccin
TL;DR: Data indicate that fusicoccin activates the plasma membrane H(+)-ATPase by acting at the membrane level independently of the involvement of other cell components, as well as suggesting that there is an increase in V(max), rather than a decrease in its apparent K(m) for Mg:ATP.
Journal ArticleDOI
Correlation between proton extrusion and stimulation of cell enlargement effects of fusicoccin and of cytokinins on leaf fragments and isolated cotyledons
TL;DR: Fusicoccin, a diterpene glucoside, is shown to induce in isolated cotyledons from germinating squash and radish seeds, an effect on cell enlargement markedly greater than that of benzyladenine and kinetin.
Journal ArticleDOI
Acidification of the Medium Associated with Normal and Fusicoccin-Induced Seed Germination
TL;DR: The hypothesis that the mode of action of fusicoccin in promoting germination involves, as in stimulation of cell enlargement, the activation at the cell membrane level of proton extrusion processes is supported.
