    Notes: Many macroalgae have significant spatial differentiation involving higher rate resource use at a site than of acquisition of that resource from the environment at that site. Long-distance symplasmic transport of solutes occurs in some large green algae where the solutes are moved in streaming cytoplasm. In some large brown algae there is evidence of long-distance symplasmic transport of organic C and other solutes. Structural and physiological data suggest that while the transport in ‘sieve tubes’ of Macrocystis might be by a Munch pressure flow mechanism the transport in many other brown algae is less likely to be by this mechanism. Less is known of long-distance symplasmic transport in red algae. In terrestrial bryophytes transpiration occurs and in some liverworts and many mosses (but not in hornworts) there are files of dead cells in their tissues which may, and in some cases certainly, function in long-distance apoplasmic water transport. The hydraulic conductivity of these conduits is poorly characterized. Long-distance symplasmic transport in some mosses have been characterized both structurally and physiologically, but in other mosses and in liverworts the evidence is only structural. Most of these symplasmic transport pathways seem to have a high resistance to flow.

    Source—sink characteristics of carbon transport in Chara hispida (1984)

    Notes: Abstract Rates of uptake of 14C-labelled inorganic carbon were measured for whole Chara hispida plants, detached parts of the shoot and isolated (split-chamber technique) apices, lateral branchlets and rhizoid—node complexes.The rates of inorganic carbon uptake by the rhizoid—node complex expressed per gram fresh weight whole plant were three to four orders of magnitude less than the uptake for the whole plant. Up to 70% of the carbon taken up by the rhizoid—node complex was translocated to the shoot. After 12 h exposure to 14C-labelled inorganic carbon the concentration of 14C was greater in apices than in uppermost or central internodal cells and in all lateral branchlets, regardless of whether label was supplied to the whole plant or isolated rhizoid—node complexes. Measurement of inorganic carbon uptake by detached internodal cells and detached and isolated apices and lateral branchlets showed that lateral branchlets had the greatest rates of inorganic carbon uptake. During 12 h exposure to 14C, isolated lateral branchlets translocated to the attached shoot 55% of the labelled carbon taken up; for isolated apices this value was only 13%.It is concluded that it is highly unlikely that the rhizoid of Chara hispida could acquire a significant fraction of the whole plant requirement for inorganic carbon and that apices are sink regions for photosynthate while lateral branchlets are source regions.

    Notes: Abstract The acid-base balance during ammonium (used to mean NH 4+ and/or NH3) assimilation in Hydrodictyon africanum has been measured on cells growing with about 1 mol m−3 ammonium at an external pH of about 6.5. Measurements made included (1) ash alkalinity (corrected for intracellular ammonium) which yields net organic negative charge, (2) the accumulation of organic N in the cells and (3) the change in extracellular H+ (from the pH change and the buffer capacity). These measurements showed that some 0.25 excess organic negative charge (half in the cell wall, half inside the plasmalemma) accumulates per organic N synthesized, while some 1.25H+ accumulate in the medium per organic N synthesized. Granted a permeability (PNH3) of some 10−3 cm s−1, and a finite [NH3] in the cytoplasm of these N-assimilating cells it is likely that most of the ammonium entering these growing cells is as NH 4+. This means that most of the H + appearing in the medium must have originated from inside the cell and have been subjected to active efflux at the plasmalemma: H+ accumulates in the medium equivalent to any NH3 entry by requilibration from exogenous NH 4+. The cell composition (net organic negative charge, organic N content) is very similar in these ammonium-grown cells to that of NO3+grown cells, suggesting that there is no action of a ‘biochemical pH stat’ during longterm assimilation of NO3+in H. africanum.Short-term experiments were carried out at an external pH of 7.2 in which ammonium at various concentrations were supplied to NO3+-grown cells. There was in all cases a rapid influx followed by a slower uptake; at least at the lower concentrations (less than 100 μmol dm−3) the net influx was all attributable to NH4+influx via a uniporter, probably partly short-circuited by a passive NH3 efflux due to intrinsic membrane permeability to NH3. The net ammonium influx was in all cases associated with H+ accumulation in the medium. (1.3-1.7 H + per ammonium taken up); as in the growth experiments, most of the ammonium taken up was assimilated.Determinations of cytoplasmic pH showed either no effect on, or a slight decrease in, pH during ammonium assimilation; the changes that occurred were in the direction expected for actuating a ‘pH-regulating’ change in H+ fluxes.

    A role for mitochondrial carbonic anhydrase in limiting CO2 leakage from low CO2-grown cells of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii (2001)
    Oxford, UK : Blackwell Science Ltd

    Notes: A model is presented which quantifies a possible role for the carbonic anhydrase in the mitochondrial matrix of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii which incorporates the observation that the expression of this enzyme is increased under growth conditions in which the expression of the carbon dioxide-concentrating mechanism is increased. It is assumed that the inorganic carbon enters the cytosol from the medium, and leaves the cytosol to the plastids, as HCO3− and that there is negligible carbonic anhydrase activity in the cytosol. The role of the mitochondrial carbonic anhydrase is suggested to be the conversion to HCO3– of the CO2 produced in the mitochondria in the light from tricarboxylic acid cycle activity and from decarboxylation of glycine in any photorespiratory carbon oxidation cycle activity which is not suppressed by the carbon concentrating mechanism. If there is a HCO3− channel in the inner mitochondrial membrane then almost all of the inorganic carbon leaves the mitochondria as HCO3−, thus limiting the potential for CO2 leakage through the plasmalemma. This mechanism could increase inorganic C supply to ribulose bisphosphate carboxylase-oxygenase by some 10% at the energetic expense of less than 1% of the total ATP generation by plastids plus mitochondria.

    Inorganic carbon assimilation in the Isoetids, Isoetes lacustris L. and Lobelia dortmanna L. (1984)

    Notes: Summary The inorganic carbon fixation patterns of Isoetes lacustris and Lobelia dortmanna from an oligotrophic Scottish loch have been examined by following titratable acidity changes in plant sap and light/dark 14CO2 incorporation by roots and shoots. The diurnal pattern of titratable acidity changes in I. lacustris suggests crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) while the lack of any change in titratable acidity in L. dortmanna suggests C3 metabolism. Of the carbon fixed by L. dortmanna, 99.9% was taken up through the roots and fixation occurred primarily during the day. In Isoetes, CO2 was taken up by both roots and shoots and during both day and night. Regardless of the site of CO2 uptake, fixation occurred only in the shoots of both plants. Analysis of carbon isotope ratios of plant organic material was used to further investigate the photosynthetic mechanisms of these Isoetids. Considering the absence of a nighttime peak in titratable acidity in L. dortmanna, the Δ13C (Δ=δ13C plant-δ13C source) value of the shoots of L. dortmanna (-14.2‰) is indicative of C3 photosynthesis limited by the rate of CO2 diffusion. The less negative Δ of I. lacustris (-6.0‰) is consistent with both dark acidification of CAM and CO2 limited C3 photosynthesis. This is in contrast to the terrestrial Isoetes durieui which is shown to have a Δ value which is similar to a terrestrial C3 plant. The carbon fixation patterns of these Isoetids suggest that the CO2 concentration in the loch may be growth limiting, and that root uptake and/or dark acidification are means of optimising CO2 supply. However, in view of the relatively high levels of CO2 in sediment and bulk water, it is suggested that low levels of nutrients may also limit growth in these plants.
