Abstract
Addition of 1.5 mM NADH tripled the O2 consumption in corn root protoplasts. The stimulation was temperature and pH-dependent, specific to NADH and accompanied by a 2- to 3-fold increase in K+ and Pi uptake into protoplasts. The increase in ion uptake was not due to the accumulation of NADH into protoplasts. The effect of exogenous NADH on O2 consumption and ion uptake was evident in corn root segments but to a lesser extent. A 20-mV hyperpolarization of protoplast membrane potential occurred on addition of NADH and was abolished by the uncoupler carbonyl cyanide p-trifluoromethoxyphenylhydrazone. Increases in cell volume of 30 and 40% were detected in response to NADH/H+ and NADH/H+/K+, respectively. A transmembrane redox reaction and the possibility that some part of the energy-linked ion transport may be driven by a NADH .fwdarw. O2 electron-transport system in the plasmalemma are discussed.Keywords
