The plant V-ATPase is a primary-active proton pump present at various components of the
endomembrane system. It is assembled by different protein subunits which are located in …

Publisher Summary This chapter discusses the physiology, biochemistry, and molecular
biology of the plant vacuolar ATPase. The transmembrane movement of solute particles by …

Background and Aims Pistia stratiotes produces large amounts of calcium (Ca) oxalate
crystals in specialized cells called crystal idioblasts. The potential involvement of Ca2+ …

Oat root tonoplast vesicles were used to determine if tonoplast transport of the divalent
cations Zn and Mn occurs via an antiport mechanism, like that described for Ca and Cd …

ABSTRACT A population of NG108-15 neuroblastoma cells resistant to doxorubicin
(NG/DOXR) was established. The cells exhibited a multidrug resistance phenotype with …

The activity and the voltage dependence of the inorganic pyrophosphatase (PPase) was
measured on intact vacuoles of Chenopodium rubrum cells using the patch-clamp …

The pharmacology of the maxi cation channel in the plasma membrane of rye (Secale
cereale L.) root cells was studied following its incorporation into planar lipid bilayers. The …

Induction of petiole explants with thidiazuron resulted in the development of somatic
embryos originating from the epidermal cells of African violet petioles. Orientation of the …

Auxin-stimulated elongation growth of maize coleoptiles has been suggested to be
associated with enhanced exocytotic activity. However, the problem in plants is one of …

Verapamil application in ion transport studies on plant cells is widespread; however, the
mechanism of its action is still poorly understood. Net flux of Ca 2+, K+, Na+, H+ and Cl …
