RESUMO

The dependence of Ca uptake and translocation by intact roots of Phaseolus vulgaris on concurrent root metabolism was investigated using 45Ca-labeled Hoagland solutions at one-half and one-twentieth strength (2.5 and 0.25 mM Ca2+). Adsorbed and absorbed 45Ca fractions in the roots were distinguished on the basis of the time course of exchange with the outer solution. Uptake of 42K, of which the characteristics are better known, was measured for comparison. The absorbed 45Ca fraction showed a markedly nonlinear increase with time in contrast to the near linear increase in 42K. Exposure of roots to cyanide, arsenate, 2,4-dinitrophenol, or low temperatures caused only slight reductions in 45Ca absorption by roots, but significant reductions of 42K. In all treatments involving inhibitors and low temperatures, the translocation to shoots of both 45Ca and 42K was strongly inhibited. The conclusion that much of the absorbed 45Ca fraction in the root tissue is taken up by processes which are not rate-limited by metabolism is discussed.
