Influence of Abscisic acid on K+ absorption by leaf discs of Solanum tuberosum.

Abstract


It is shown that, contrary to what is generally found, treatment with abscisic acid (ABA) of potato leaf tissues resulted in an increase of K+ uptake. Comparison with other hormones was made: BAP induced an inhibition and GA3 a stimulation of K+ uptake. The uptake was sensitive to several metabolic inhibitors, external pH and ATPase inhibitors while p- chloromercuribenzenesulforic acid (PCMBS) had no effect. Uptake kinetics revealed the presence of both saturable and linear components which were both stimulate by ABA treatment. Our data are consistent with an effect of ABA on the active and passive component of K+ uptake. These results are discussed in relation to the action of ABA on foliar senescence and the action on ion partitioning in the whole plant.
