Abstract:
:Interactions between putrescine and membrane function were examined with the use of a recently developed microelectrode system that enables us simultaneously to quantify membrane potentials and net K(+) fluxes associated with individual cells at the root surface of an intact corn (Zea mays L.) seedling. In contrast to the results of others, our analyses indicate that exogenous putrescine (0.5 millimolar), in the absence of calcium, does not maintain membrane stability. In addition, putrescine caused a wound response characterized by a gradual depolarization of the membrane potential and a considerable net efflux of K(+) from the root. In the presence of calcium, both short term (20 minutes) and long term (24 hours) exposure to a high concentration of exogenous putrescine (5 millimolar) also caused a reduction in the resting membrane potential and a significant K(+) efflux. However, preincubating corn roots in a solution containing the antioxidant ascorbate ameliorated the wounding effects of putrescine and slightly increased potassium uptake. A similar preincubation in the absence of calcium did not protect membranes against putrescine-induced damage. The ameliorating effect of ascorbate on putrescine-induced membrane damage suggests that the wounding response of high putrescine levels in corn roots involves the catabolism of the polyamine by a cell wall diamine oxidase, with the concomitant production of hydrogen peroxide and free radicals resulting in peroxidative damage of the plasmalemma.
