Abstract:
:Ion transport, measured using double-barreled micropipettes to obtain current-voltage relations, was examined in Arabidopsis thaliana root hairs that continued tip growth and cytoplasmic streaming after impalement with the micropipette. To do this required in situ measurements with no handling of the seedlings to avoid wounding responses, and conditions allowing good resolution microscopy in tandem with the electrophysiological measurements. Two ion transport processes were demonstrated. One was a tetraethylammonium-sensitive potassium ion current, inward at hyperpolarized potentials and outward at depolarized potentials. The addition of tetraethylammonium (a potassium channel blocker) caused the potential to hyperpolarize, indicating the presence of a net inward potassium current through the ion channels at the resting potential. The potassium influx was sufficient to "drive" cellular expansion based upon growth rates. Indeed, tetraethylammonium caused transient inhibition of tip growth. The other electrogenic process was the plasma membrane proton pump, measured by indirect inhibition with cyanide or direct inhibition by vanadate. The proton pump was the dominant contribution to the resting potential, with a very high current density of about 250 microamperes per square centimeter (seen only in young growing root hairs). The membrane potential generated by the proton pump presumably drives the potassium influx required for cellular expansion. The pump appears to be a constant current source over the voltage range -200 to 0 millivolts. With this system, it is now possible to study the physiology of a higher plant cell in dynamic living state using a broad range of cell biological and electrophysiological techniques.
