Chenopodium rubrum L. cell cultures. Surprisingly, in contrast to the generally used acid
phosphatase, an extracellular alkaline phosphatase showed the most sensitive response.
This phosphatase was characterized as a marker for cellular stimulation by its high
correlations with induced changes of extracellular pH: 10μM nigericin (correlation coefficient
r= 0.91), 100μM salicylic acid (r= 0.84), heat shock 5min 37° C (r= 0.79), and heat shock …
