Abstract
We isolated large quantities of mesophyll protoplasts from source and sink leaves of soybean plants and examined them for amino acid uptake. Accumulation of amino acids in isolated protoplasts was linear for at least 40 minutes. Uptake kinetics revealed the presence of both saturable and linear components. Increasing external pH decreases the uptake. The uncoupler, carbonyl cyanide p-trifluoromethoxyphenylhydrazone at 15 micromolar inhibited and fusicoccin at 10 micromolar stimulated amino acid uptake. Our data are consistent with a proton-cotransport mechanism for the uptake of L-glutamine and .alpha.-amino isobutyric acid into soybean mesophyll cells.This publication has 9 references indexed in Scilit:
