    Notes: Floral induction in the long-day plant spinach (Spinacia oleracea L. cv. Nobel) was accompanied by a thickening of the plasma membrane. Densitometry analyses showed that the light space of the dark-light-dark pattern of the membrane was not changed upon photoinduction. Rather, the increase was due to an enhancement of the dark layer adjacent to the cell wall. Parallel analyses of protein and phospholipid composition revealed no marked changes in protein composition or biosynthetic rate, protein phosphorylation, glycolipids and/or phospholipids as a result of the 24 h of continuous light sufficient to induce flowering. Photoinduction, however, was accompanied by an increase in the relative amount of plasma membrane sterols which may be related to the membrane thickening.

    Notes: NADH-ferricyanide oxido-reductase (EC 1,6,99,3) of purified plasma membrane vesicles isolated by aqueous two-phase partition from segments of etiolated soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr. cv. Williams] hypocotyls was used as a measure of plasma membrane redox activity. Elongation growth of hypocotyl segments floated on the solutions was determined in parallel. Cis-platinum (II) diammine dichloride (cis-platin), adriamycin and p-nitrophenylacetate, agents known to inhibit cell proliferation and plasma membrane redox activities in mammalian cells inhibited both NADH-ferricyanide oxido-reductase of the isolated membrane vesicles and elongation growth of intact hypocotyl segments. Auxin(2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid)-induced growth of the isolated segments was inhibited preferentially at drug concentrations where control growth was affected only slightly. The findings suggest a connection between plasma membrane redox reactions and the control of elongation growth in plants.

    Notes: A purification procedure is presented which differs in three respects from other procedures for the purification of plant plasma membrane H+-pumping ATPase (EC 3.6.1.35) from various plants. Soybean (Glycine max L. cv. Williams) hypocotyls were homogenized in the presence of physiological ionic strength and plasma membrane vesicles were purified by aqueous polymer two-phase partitioning. Plasma membrane vesicles were then solubilized in one step by using non-ionic detergent (either Triton X-100 or C12E8). The Mg-ATPase was separated by ion exchange chromatography from other solubilized membrane proteins. ATPase molecules bound to phosphocellulose fibers were eluted by a 0–1 M gradient of NaCl. The NaCl-eluted fractions contained a Mg-ATPase which showed the characteristics of Mg-ATPase present in the plasma membranes. The specific activity of the partially purified enzyme was 2–5 μmol mg−1 min−1 when it was reconstituted into proteoliposomes. This value is in good agreement with data obtained by other purification methods in the literature.

    Notes: Sugars supplied to germinating seedlings of maize (Zea mays L.) regulate the secretion of polysaccharides by the outer cells of the root cap. The polysaccharide secreted by these cells adheres to the root tip as a droplet and the size of the droplet was used to quantitate polysaccharide secretion. The polysaccharide contains glucose, galacrose, and galacturonic acid residues with smaller quantities of mannose, arabinose, xylose, fucose and rhamnose. These sugars supplied to maize seedlings had marked effects on the rate of polysaccharide secretion by root tips. The effects on secretion were independent of the growth rates of the roots. Glucose, fucose and xylose increased droplet size 1.5–2 fold (as did sucrose, maltose, lacrose, fructose and ribose) whereas galactose, arabinose and galacturonic acid were inhibitory. Mannose increased dropler size 5–7 fold.The marked effect of mannose on polysaccharide secretion was due to an increased rate of secretion combined with a longer phase of extrusion of polysaccharide into the forming droplet. The effect of mannose was partially reversed by inorganic phosphate and other sugars (except for fucose which had no effect or promoted secretion in the presence of mannose). In contrast to sucrose, mannose stimulated secretion in a maize variety having a high sugar endosperm (high endogenous sugar). The results suggest that regulation of secretion by mannose is due to an alteration of normal sugar metabolism; whereas stimulation of secretion by sucrose and other sugars may be due to an increased availability of sugars for metabolism.

    Notes: The kinetics of induction of heat stability of cytoplasmic proteins and lipoproteins by auxin (2,4,-D) were determined for basal sections of soybean hypocotyl. Maximum heat stabilization occurred after 4 h of tissue incubation with 10-5M 2,4-D. The effect was less pronounced or absent with longer incubations. Membrane fractions sedimenting between 10,000 and 100,000 g and proteins of the 100,000 g supernatant were most affected. The auxin-induced protein aggregation response varied among experiments. With many tissue lots, the response was small or absent even though the tissue responded to the auxin uniformly by increased growth. The magnitude of response was proportional to the logarithm of auxin concentration but with low 2,4-D the portion of the homogenate protein coagulated by heat was increased and with supraoptimal concentrations it was decreased relative to the control. The smallest auxin-induced change in heat coagulability was observed at the auxin concentration nearest the optimum for growth. No direct correlation was found between the auxin-induced protein and lipo-protein aggregation phenomenon and total protein, chloroform-extractable lipid, residual lipid, growth or tissue deformability. Total sulfhydryl equivalent of the homogenates, however, did correlate with auxin effects on aggregation. This result, plus experiments where homogenates were exposed to oxidizing or reducing conditions, suggests that heat stabilization and associated protein aggregation phenomena are related to conversion of protein sulfhydryl to intramolecular disulfide bonds. No significance is attached to heat stabilization of cytoplasmic proteins as a requisite of auxin-induced growth.
