Wounding-Induced Cell Wall Ph Shifts In Coleoptile Segments Of Various Poaceae, Winfried Peters
Wounding-Induced Cell Wall Ph Shifts In Coleoptile Segments Of Various Poaceae, Winfried Peters
Winfried S. Peters
Wounding-induced extracellular pH shifts were characterized previously in excised segments of maize (Zea mays L.) coleoptiles. In the present study it is demonstrated that similar pH shifts also occur in Triticum aestivum L., Secale cereale L., Hordeum vulgare L., Avena sativa L., Sorghum durra (Forsk.) Stapf, and Setaria italica (L.) Beauv., with characteristic quantitative differences between the species. Indole-acetic acid induces pronounced drops of the medium pH in all species except Setaria italica.
