    Notes: Abstract The short-term effects of auxin (indole-3-acetic acid) and fusicoccin (FC) on Rb+ uptake and malate accumulation in Avena sativa L. coleoptile sections have been investigated. FC stimulates 86Rb+ uptake within 1 min while auxin-enhanced uptake begins after a 15–20-min lag period. Auxin has little or no effect on 86Rb+ uptake at external pHs of 6.0 or less, but substantial auxin effects can be observed in the range of pH 6.5 to 7.5. Competition studies indicate that the uptake mechanism is specific for Rb+ and K+. After 3 h of auxin treatment the total amount of malate in the coleoptile sections is doubled compared to control sections. FC causes a doubling of malate levels within 60 min of treatment. Auxin-induced malate accumulation exhibits a sensitivity to inhibitors and pH which is similar to that observed for the H+-extrusion and Rb+-uptake responses. Both auxin- and FC-enhanced malate accumulation are stimulated by monovalent cations but this effect is not specific for K+.

    Effects of fusicoccin on the activity of a key pH-stat enzyme, PEP-carboxylase (1978)

    Notes: Abstract The phytotoxin fusicoccin (FC) causes rapid synthesis of malate in coleoptile tissues, presumably via phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP) carboxylase coupled with malate dehydrogenase. The possibility that FC directly affects PEP carboxylase in Avena sativa L. and Zea mays L. coleoptiles was studied and rejected. The activity of this enzyme is unaffected by FC whether FC is added in vitro or a pretreatment to the live material. FC does not change the sensitivity of the enzyme to bicarbonate or malate. The activity of FC, instead, appears to be indirect. The pH sensitivity of PEP carboxylase is such that its activity, and thus the rate of malate synthesis, may be enhanced by an increase in cytoplasmic pH accompanying FC-induced H+ excretion. Since the enzyme is also particularily sensitive to bicarbonate levels, malate synthesis may also be enhanced by FC-induced uptake or generation of CO2.
