โฆ Synopsis
Uptake of potassium (K) and (86)rubidiumlabelled potassium ((86)Rb) by sub-hypocotyl hook sections of Phaseolus aureus L. was inhibited by red light. The effect was reversible with far red light. Using short exposures of high irradiance the effect on (86)Rb-labelled K uptake was observed after 5 min. The response showed no specificity for a particular anion. Uptake of (86)Rb-labelled K by sections cut immediately below the cotyledons was enhanced by red light after 10 min incubation and was also far red reversible. These results are interpreted as a rapid phytochrome-induced change in membrane properties resulting in modified K uptake.

4 min of red light increases the uptake of sodium acetate[1-(14)C] by excised, etiolated secondary roots of Phaseolus aureus Roxb. 4 min of far-red light reveres this effect. AMO-1618, which inhibits acetylcholinesterase activity, enhances the red-light effect, while d-tubocurarine, which blocks the
