RESUMO
The possibility was investigated that diethylstilbestrol (DES) inhibits potassium absorption in oat (Avena sativa L. cv. Goodfield) roots by inhibiting mitochondrial functions in addition to inhibiting the plasma membrane ATPase. DES at 10−6 molar stimulated the mitochondrial ATPase slightly, but higher concentrations had no effect. Oxidative phosphorylation by isolated mitochondria was inhibited 50% by 2.6 × 10−5 molar DES; concentrations of 10−4 molar or greater were completely inhibitory. After a lag of about 2 minutes, 10−4 molar DES produced a linear decrease in ATP content of excised roots. After 20 minutes, the ATP content of the tissue was about 50% of the control and remained at that level after 30 minutes in DES.
