Turgor-mediated leaf movements of the legume Samanea saman are associated with the migration of K(+) and Cl(-) between opposing sides of the motor organs (pulvini). We have investigated the pathway of this ion migration by localizing K(+) and Cl(-) within the secondary pulvinus at various times during leaf movements. Ion distributions in freeze-dried cryosections of pulvini were determined by scanning electron microscopy/x-ray microanalysis. The results indicate that the apoplast is a major pathway for the migration of K(+) and Cl(-) within the pulvinus.
豆科植物金合欢的膨压介导的叶片运动与运动器官(叶枕)两侧钾离子(K+)和氯离子(Cl-)的迁移有关。我们通过在叶片运动的不同时间点对次级叶枕内的 K+和 Cl-进行定位,研究了这种离子迁移的途径。通过扫描电子显微镜/ X 射线微量分析,确定了叶枕冷冻干燥冷冻切片中离子的分布。结果表明,质外体是叶枕内 K+和 Cl-迁移的主要途径。
