Leaf Cells

Glucuronomannans. Most glucuronomaimans occur as components of certain plant gums and are characterized by the presence of an 0-(P -D-glucurono-pyranosyl)-(1 2)-D-maimopyranosyl linkage ia the molecule (65). Less complex glucuronomaimans are found in the tissues of bracken Pteridium aquilinum) and in tobacco leaf cells where they may be part of the cultured cell wall (132) and exude into the medium in which the cells are grown (133).

The diversity of responses to water stress may therefore reflect in part the diversity of signals, from turgor and water content of leaf cells, to root perception of soil water content and strength.

Until very recently, high-efficiency chloroplast transformations have been limited to Chlamydomonas and the higher plant Tobaccum. Arabidopsis chloroplasts have been successfully transformed, but none of the regenerated transformed plants were fertile. Chloroplasts from potato leaf cells and rice suspension cells have also been transformed but with poor efficiency as well, and no fertile plants were recovered (Khan et al., 1999 Hibbard et al., 1998). Therefore, a major hurdle is the development of fertile, transgenic, economically important plants. 

A severe mechanical wound on a single leaf of tomato plants initiates a complex series of extracellular and intracellular reactions which result in the synthesis and accumulation of two proteinase Inhibitors, Inhibitors I and II, in leaf cells (J, 2. A second wounding, within a few hours, results in a 2-3 fold Increase in the rates of accumulation initiated by the...

For many biosynthetic reactions that liberate pyrophosphatase activity makes the process more favorable energetically, tending to make these reactions irreversible. In plants, this enzyme is present in plastids but absent from the cytosol. As a result, the cytosol of leaf cells contains a substantial concentration of PP,— enough ( 0.3 him) to make reactions such as that catalyzed by UDP-glucose pyrophosphorylase (Fig. 15-7) readily reversible. Recall from Chapter 14 (p. 527) that the cytosolic isozyme of phosphofructokinase in plants uses PPi, not ATP, as the phosphoryl donor.

Much of the work on the identification of carboxylic add complexation has been pioneered by Tiffen. He was the first to positively identify an iron-citrate complex in plant xylem.22 Iron-dtrate complexes have since been identified in a number of plants. The complex formed in these plant fluids is anionic, and Tiffen has shown that a number of other metal ions (Cr, Cu, Ni, Mn and Zn) are also present as anionic complexes.23 Although the neutrality of complexes may be considered a prerequisite for metal ion penetration of membranes, this has not been demonstrated with plant roots or with leaf-cell membranes. Involvement of negatively charged dtrate complexes of Ni11 has been confirmed both for nickel uptake and for translocation in plant species.24 Trisoxalatochro-mate(III) anion has been found in the leaf tissues of a plant species.25...
