RESUMO
High rates of phosphate uptake into phosphate-starved Lemna gibba L. G1 were correlated with a high membrane potential (pd = −220 millivolts). In plants maintaining a low pd (−110 millivolts), the uptake rate was only 20% of that of high-pd plants. At the onset of phosphate transport, the membrane of high-pd plants was transiently depolarized. This effect was much smaller in low-pd plants. Light stimulated phosphate uptake and the repolarization upon phosphate-induced depolarization, especially in plants grown without sucrose. The phosphate uptake rate was optimal at pH 6 and decreased with increasing pH, corresponding to the phosphate-induced pd changes. Phosphate starvation stimulated the uptake and increased the phosphate-induced depolarization, thus indicating that phosphate uptake depends on the intracellular phosphate level. It is suggested that uptake of monovalent phosphate in Lemna gibba proceeds by an H+ cotransport dependent on the proton electrochemical potential difference and, hence, on the activity of an H+ -extrusion pump.
