Abstract:
:Rhythmic light-sensitive movements of the leaflets of Samanea saman depend upon ion fluxes across the plasma membrane of extensor and flexor cells in opposing regions of the leaf-movement organ (pulvinus). We have isolated protoplasts from the extensor and flexor regions of S. saman pulvini and have examined the effects of brief 30-second exposures to white, blue, or red light on the relative membrane potential using the fluorescent dye, 3,3'-dipropylthiadicarbocyanine iodide. White and blue light induced transient membrane hyperpolarization of both extensor and flexor protoplasts; red light had no effect. Following white or blue light-induced hyperpolarization, the addition of 200 millimolar K(+) resulted in a rapid depolarization of extensor, but not of flexor protoplasts. In contrast, addition of K(+) following red light or in darkness resulted in a rapid depolarization of flexor, but not of extensor protoplasts. In both flexor and extensor protoplasts, depolarization was completely inhibited by tetraethylammonium, implicating channel-mediated movement of K(+) ions. These results suggest that K(+) channels are closed in extensor plasma membranes and open in flexor plasma membranes in darkness and that white and blue light, but not red light, close the channels in flexor plasma membranes and open them in extensor plasma membranes. Vanadate treatment inhibited hyperpolarization in response to blue or white light, but did not affect K(+) -induced depolarization. This suggests that white or blue light-induced hyperpolarization results from activation of the H(+) -ATPase, but this hyperpolarization is not the sole factor controlling the opening of K(+) channels.
