Co-transport of Potassium and Sugars across the Plasmalemma of Mesophyll Protoplasts 1

RESUMO

Sugars (sucrose + hexoses) produced photosynthetically by isolated mesophyll protoplasts of wheat and tobacco were effluxed across the plasma membrane (3 to 10 micromoles hexose equivalents per milligram chlorophyll per hour). The efflux was sensitive to uncouplers and oligomycin which indicated a requirement for energy. A proton gradient was probably not coupled directly to the transport because changing the proton gradient across the plasma membrane by varying the pH of the medium or by adding sodium acetate had no significant effect on the rate of sugar release.
