✦ Synopsis


Ion-gradient-coupled transport systems in plants are normally electrophoretic and carry inward current. Rapid inward electrical currents elicited by K +, by urea and by lysine in the freshwater acidophilic alga Nitella translucens Agh. are all very strongly dependent on the presence ofNa + or (except in the case of K +) Li +. These results indicate that Na +-coupled solute transport in plants, which had previously been demonstrated only in an alkalophilic species (Chara australis), did not evolve recently as an alternative to H +-coupled transport in high-pH environments, and might therefore be more widely distributed than has hitherto been recognised.

Neutral amino acid transport by system A was investigated in the epithelial cell lines MDCK and MDCK-T1. The latter line is a chemically induced, oncogenically transformed line derived from MDCK. Inducers of differentiation, sodium butyrate and 5-azacytidine, and a tumor promoter, TPA, were used as
