Abstract

Carrot (Daucus carota L.) cells grown in suspension culture oxidized exogeneous NADH. The NADH oxidation was able to stimulate K+ (86Rb+) transport into cells, but it did not affect sucrose transport.N,N'-Dicyclohexyl-carbodiimide, diethylstilbestrol, and oligomycin, which only partially inhibited NADH oxidation, almost completely collapsed the K+ (86Rb+) transport. Vanadate, which is less effective as an ion transport inhibitor, was less effective in inhibiting the NADH-driven transport of K+ (86Rb+).p-Fluormethoxycarbonylcyanide phenylhydrazone inhibits the K+ transport over 90% including that induced by NADH. The results are interpreted as evidence that a plasma membrane redox system in root cells is closely associated with the ATPase which can drive K+ transport. Because of the inhibitor effects, it appears that membrane components common to the redox system and ATPase function in the transport of K+.
