β¦ Synopsis
When membrane vesicles from maize (Zea mays L.) coleoptiles are extracted at high buffer strength, a pH-driven, saturable association of [i4c] indole-3-acetic acid is found, similar to the in-vitro auxin-transport system previously described for Cucurbita hypocotyls. The phytotropins naphthylphthalamic acid and pyrenoylbenzoic acid increase net uptake, presumably by inhibiting the auxin-efflux carrier.

The characteristics of uridine transport were studied in basolateral plasma membrane vesicles isolated from rat liver. Uridine was not metabolized under transport measurements conditions and was taken up into an osmotically active space with no significant binding of uridine to the membrane vesicles
