Abstract
The effect of ethylene treatment on polar indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) transport, net IAA uptake in the presence and absence of N-1-naphthylphthalamic acid (NPA) and [(3)H]NPA binding characteristics was investigated in tissue segments or microsomes isolated from etiolated pea (Pisum sativum L. cv Alaska) epicotyls. Basipetal IAA transport in 5 millimeter segments isolated from ethylene-treated seedlings was inhibited by ethylene in a dose-dependent manner. Threshold, half-maximal and saturating concentrations of ethylene were 0.01, 0.55, 10.0 microliters per liter, respectively. This inhibition became apparent after 6 to 8 hours of ethylene treatment. Transport velocity in both control and ethylene-treated tissues was estimated to be 5 millimeters per hour. Net IAA uptake was stimulated in ethylene-treated tissues and the relative ability of the phytotropin NPA to enhance net IAA uptake was reduced in treated tissues. Specific binding of [(3)H]NPA to microsomes prepared from both control and ethylene-treated tissues was saturable and consistent with the existence of a single class of binding sites with an apparent affinity (K(d)) toward NPA of 8 to 9 nanomolar. The density of these binding sites (per milligram protein) was lower (36% of control) in ethylene-treated tissues. Direct application of ethylene to microsomal preparations isolated from untreated seedlings had no effect on the level of specific [(3)H]NPA binding.
