    Notes: We investigated the effect of Ca2+ on ethylene production in 2-cm long apical segments from primary roots of corn (Zea mays L., B73 × Missouri 17) seedlings. The seedlings were raised under different conditions of Ca2+ availability. Low-Ca and high-Ca seedlings were raised by soaking the grains and watering the seedlings with distilled water or 10 mM CaCl2, respectively. Segments from high-Ca roots produced more than twice as much ethylene as segments from low-Ca roots. Indoleacetic acid (IAA; 1 μM) enhanced ethylene production in segments from both low-Ca and high-Ca roots but auxin-induced promotion of ethylene production was consistently higher in segments from high-Ca roots. Addition of I-aminocyclopropane-I-carboxylic acid (ACC) to root segments from low-Ca seedlings doubled total ethylene production and the rate of production remained fairly constant during a 24 h period of monitoring. In segments from high-Ca seedlings ACC also increased total ethylene production but most of the ethylene was produced within the first 6 h. The data suggest that Ca2+ enhances the conversion of ACC to ethylene. The terminal 2 mm of the root tip were found to be especially important to ethylene biosynthesis by apical segments and, experiments using 45Ca2+ as tracer indicated that the apical 2 mm of the root is the region of strongest Ca2+ accumulation. Other cations such as Mn2+, Mg2+, and K+ could largely substitute for Ca2+. The significance of these findings is discussed with respect to recent evidence for gravity-induced Ca2+ redistribution and its relationship to the establishment of asymmetric growth during gravitropic curvature.

    Notes: The ability of intact primary roots of corn (Zea mays L. Bear Hybrid WF 9 × 38) to adapt to growth-inhibitory concentrations of auxin was studied using a highly sensitive position sensor transducer to measure growth. The timing, concentration dependence and temperature dependence of adaptation were studied as well as the time course of loss of adaptation upon removal of auxin. The rate of root elongation is inhibited 80% within 40 min after application of 10−7M IAA. Within 90 min growth rate begins to recover. For concentrations of IAA equal to or greater than 10−7M, recovery of growth rate (adaptation) is incomplete. Corn roots show a similar pattern of adaptation to the synthetic auxins NAA and 2,4-D. The Q10 for adaptation is high (3.2) and comparable to that for root growth (3.3). Upon removal of exogenous IAA, loss of adaptation occurs with full sensitivity to the hormone regained within 20 min.Based on the auxin specificity and the Q10 for adaptation it is concluded that adaptation occurs neither by a change in the auxin degradation capacity of the root nor by a diffusional redistribution of applied auxin. It is suggested that adaptation involves metabolic processes, perhaps a metabolically dependent alteration of the number or affinity of auxin binding sites.

    Notes: Sulcular penetration patterns of phenytoin (PHT) and albumin (BSA), in New Zealand white rabbits, were followed through the sulcular lining tissue, overlying gingiva, interposed connective tissue, proximating periosteum and blood over 180 minutes. The time course study revealed that a steady-state uptake of both molecules from the sulcus into the sulcular lining tissue was reached approximately 60 minutes after local tracer application. It was also found that PHT, after penetrating the sulcular lining tissue, was maintained at higher levels in gingiva than in other adjacent tissues while BSA levels were found highest in periosteum. Kinetic studies of these tissues demonstrated that sulcular tissue had a greater capacity for PHT than BSA and that uptake by this tissue had a capacity-limited characteristic. The other adjacent tissues and blood also showed capacity-limited characteristics probably reflecting uptake by the sulcular tissues. BSA degradation or PHT metabolism did not occur in any of these tissues or in serum.

    Notes: Hasenstein, K. H. and Evans, M. L. 1988. The influence of calcium and pH on growth in primary roots of Zea mays. - Physiol. Plant. 72: 466–470.We investigated the interaction of Ca2+ and pH on root elongation in Zea mays L. cv. B73 × Missouri 17 and cv. Merit. Seedlings were raised to contain high levels of Ca2+ (HC, imbibed and raised in 10 mM CaCl2) or low levels of Ca2+ (LC, imbibed and raised in distilled water). In HC roots, lowering the pH (5 mM MES/Tris) from 6.5 to 4.5 resulted in strong, long-lasting growth promotion. Surprisingly, increasing the pH from 6.5 to 8.5 also resulted in strong growth promotion. In LC roots acidification of the medium (pH 6.5 to 4.5) resulted in transient growth stimulation followed by a gradual decline in the growth rate toward zero. Exposure of LC roots to high pH (pH shift from 6.5 to 8.5) also promoted growth. Addition of EGTA resulted in strong growth promotion in both LC and HC roots. The ability of EGTA to stimulate growth appeared not to be related to H+ release from EGTA upon Ca2+ chelation since, 1) LC roots showed a strong and prolonged response to EGTA, but only a transient response to acid pH, and 2) promotion of growth by EGTA was observed in strongly buffered solutions. We also examined the pH dependence of the release of 45Ca2+ from roots of 3-day-old seedlings grown from grains imbibed in 45Ca2+. Release of 45Ca2+ from the root into agar blocks placed on the root surface was greater the more acidic the pH of the blocks. The results indicate that Ca2+ may be necessary for the acid growth response in roots.

    Notes: Abstract At concentrations inhibitory to the elongation of corn (Zea mays L.) roots, the auxins, indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) and α-naphthaleneacetic acid (α-NAA), cause an increase in the pH of the bathing medium; this increase occurs with an average latent period shorter than the latent period for the inhibitory effect of these auxins on elongation. Indole-2-carboxylic acid, an inactive structural analogue of IAA, and β-naphthaleneacetic acid, an inactive analogue of α-NAA, affect neither growth nor the pH of the medium. Since acid pH is known to promote and basic pH to inhibit root elongation, the data are consistent with the hypothesis that hormone-induced modification of cell-wall pH plays a role in the control of elongation of roots, as has been proposed for elongation of stems and coleoptiles.

    Notes: Abstract There is general agreement that during root gravitropism some sort of growth-modifying signal moves from the cap to the elongation zone and that this signal ultimately induces the curvature that leads to reorientation of the root. However, there is disagreement regarding both the nature of the signal and the pathway of its movement from the root cap to the elongation zone. We examined the pathway of movement by testing gravitropism in primary roots of maize (Zea mays L.) from which narrow (0.5 mm) rings of epidermal and cortical tissue were surgically removed from various positions within the elongation zone. When roots were girdled in the apical part of the elongation zone gravitropic curvature occurred apical to the girdle but not basal to the girdle. Filling the girdle with agar allowed curvature basal to the girdle to occur. Shallow girdles, in which only two or three cell layers (epidermis plus one or two cortical cell layers) were removed, prevented or greatly delayed gravitropic curvature basal to the girdle. The results indicate that the gravitropic signal moves basipetally through the outermost cell layers, perhaps through the epidermis itself.

    Notes: Abstract The acid-growth theory predicts that a solution with a pH identical to that of the apoplast of auxintreated tissues (4.5–5.0) should induce elongation at a rate comparable to that of auxin. Different pH profiles for elongation have been obtained, however, depending on the type of pretreatment between harvest of the sections and the start of the pH-incubations. To determine the acid sensitivity under in vivo conditions, oat (Avena sativa L.) coleoptile, maize (Zea mays L.) coleoptile and pea (Pisum sativum L.) epicotyl sections were abraded so that exogenous buffers could penetrate the free space, and placed in buffered solutions of pH 3.5–6.5 without any preincubation. The extension, without auxin, was measured over the first 3 h. Experiments conducted in three laboratories produced similar results. For all three species, sections placed in buffer without pretreatment elongated at least threefold faster at pH 5.0 than at 6.0 or 6.5, and the rate elongation at pH 5.0 was comparable to that induced by auxin. Pretreatment of abraded sections with pH-6.5 buffer or distilled water adjusted to pH 6.5 or above gave similar results. We conclude that the pH present in the apoplast of auxin-treated coleoptile and stems is sufficiently low to account for the initial growth response to auxin.
