Influence of Abscisic acid on K<sup>+</sup> absorption by leaf discs ofSolanum 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 GA~ a stimulation of K + uptake. The uptake was sensitive to several metabolic inhibitors, external pH and ATPase inhibitors while p-chloromercuribenzenesulfonic acid (PCMBS) had no effect. Uptake kinetics revealed the presence of both saturable and linear components which were both stimulat… Show more

“…Potato tuberization is characterized by a decrease in endogenous ABA levels during stolon and tuber development in vitro (Xu et al 1998). Can we then consider that tuberization under high K + nutrition is associated with an increase in endogenous ABA levels because ABA is related to stimulation of both saturable and linear components of K + uptake and transport in potato (Suleiman et al 1991;Reddahi et al 1999)? Further studies are required to explore these possibilities.…”

“…Aucune interprttation simple ne peut 6tre donnte quant au mtcanisme d'action des hormones dont on sait que l'une des manifestations essentielles peut se situer au niveau du fonctionnement des enzymes: ATPases (Suleiman et al 1991), invertase (Morris et Arthur 1985) ou UDPG-pyrophosphorylase (Mares et al 1985) ou saccharo-synthttase (Sowokinos et Varns 1992) dans le cas de la pomme de terre. Une 6tude comparte de raction des principales hormones, ABA, CK et GA, est donc entreprise dans ce travail.…”
