Light activates H2 15O flow in rice: Detailed monitoring using a positron-emitting tracer imaging system (PETIS)
2001
Water (H 2 15 O) translocation from the roots to the top of rice plants (Oryza saliva L. cv. Nipponbare) was visualized over time by a positron-emitting tracer imaging system (PETIS). H 2 15 O flow was activated 8 min after plants were exposed to bright light (1500 μmol m -2 s -1 ). When the light was subsequently removed, the flow gradually slowed and completely stopped after 12 min. In plants exposed to low light (500 μmol m -2 s -1 ), H 2 15 O flow was activated more slowly, and a higher translocation rate of H 2 15 O was observed in the same low light at the end of the next dark period. NaCI (80 mM) and methylmercury (1 mM) directly suppressed absorption of H 2 15 O by the roots, while methionine sulfoximine (1 mM), abscisic acid (10 pM) and carbonyl cyanide m-chlorophenylhydrazone (10 mM) were transported to the leaves and enhanced stomatal closure, reducing H 2 15 O translocation.
