INTRODUCTION

Recently, we have described the stimulatory effects

of neurotransmitters on root water-pumping activity

[1]. Similar neurotransmitter action was also noted in

earlier publications [2–8]. It manifests in the enhanced

exudation of detached roots and is related to the

increased root pressure due to its metabolic component,

the increased temperature coefficient of exudation

(Q

 



10

 

), a reduced exudate osmotic pressure, and



decreased root hydraulic conductivity. It turned out that

a stimulatory effects of all neurotransmitters tested

(acetylcholine, adrenalin, noradrenalin, and serotonin)

was completely abolished in the presence of microfila-

ment- and microtubule-disrupting drugs and also

uncouplers of oxidative phosphorylation. The effects of

aforementioned agents were not limited by only neu-

tralizing of neurotransmitter stimulatory action. Exuda-

tion was suppressed to the same degree as in the pres-

ence of only cytoskeleton drugs or oxidative phospho-

rylation uncouplers in the absence of neurotransmitters

[4, 5, 7]. This fact is especially important. It could indi-

cate that, during exudation stimulation, the targets of

neurotransmitters are energy-dependent contractile

systems. This supposition is confirmed by the absence

of any additivity of various neurotransmitter stimulat-

ing effects at their combined application in each com-

binations [5]. The reason for such additivity absence

could be a commonness of neurotransmitter targets,

and the cytoskeleton is evidently such a target.

Abstract

 

—To evaluate the involvement of G-proteins in the signal transduction during stimulatory action of



neurotransmitters, adrenalin and noradrenalin, on root exudation and the ivolvement of G-proteins in water

transport in the root and creaction of the root pressure, we tested the effects of guanosinethiodiphosphate, an

inhibitor of GTP-binding capacity of G-proteins, and guanosinethiotriphosphate, a stimulator of this capacity.

Experiments were performed with detached roots of 5–7-day-old maize (



 

Zea mays

 

 L.) seedlings and the mittens



produced from them due to the removal of the vascular cylinder. The latter are a convenient model to study the

nature of the root pressure due to its strongly limited possibility to function as an osmometer during the early

step of exudation. In the “mittens,” adrenalin and noradrenalin enhanced exudation, increased its temperature

coefficient (Q

 

10

 



), root pressure, and its metabolic component much stronger than in detached roots with the vas-

cular cylinder retained (conventionally named as “intact” roots). In control treatment (with water), guanosineth-

iodiphosphate retarded exudation on the average by 30% in intact roots and by 50% in mittens, simultaneously

reducing Q

 

10

 



 from 3.0 to 1.7 in intact roots and from 4.0 to 1.3 in mittens. Guanosinethiotriphosphate exerted

an opposite action: it stimulated exudation on the average by 30% in intact roots and by 60% in mittens; the Q

 

10

 



value increased from 3.0 to 3.6 in intact roots and from 4.0 to 5.8 in mittens. These data indicate that G-proteins

are involved in the control of water transport and creation of the root pressure (without any other treatments).

Guanosinethiodiphosphate neutralized completely adrenalin- and noradrenalin-induced stimulation of exuda-

tion, resulting in the level substantially below the control one, especially in mittens. Guanosinethiotriphosphate

enhanced stimulatory effects of both neurotransmitters, mainly in mittens, whereas its effect on intact roots was

relatively weak, especially in experiments with noradrenalin. It should be emphasized that the mittens

responded to both neurotransmitters and the regulators of G-protein activity much stronger than intact roots.

The data obtained argue for the G-protein involvement in (1) transduction of adrenalin and noradrenalin signals

stimulating root water-pumping activity and (2) the control of water transport and creation of the root pressure

under normal conditions. Experiments with mittens indicate that this G-protein involvement could by mainly

related to the functioning of the root cortex parenchymal cells and the formation of the metabolic component

of the root pressure.

STIMULATORY EFFECTS OF ADRENALIN AND NORADRENALIN ON ROOT

791

 

Naturally, the question arises about the transduction



pathways of neurotransmitter signals related to exudate

stimulation. The data presented in [1] permitted a sup-

position about the involvement of protein kinases and

protein phosphatases in the control of water transport

and creation of the root pressure in control and under

neurotransmitter action. Therefore, it seems likely that

G-proteins, messengers in signal transduction from the

plasma membrane receptors to downstream compo-

nents of the signaling pathways, protein kinases and

protein phosphatase in particular [9], could also be

involved in these processes.

The objective of this work was to elucidate the

involvement of G-proteins in transduction of signals

induced by adrenalin and noradrenalin and stimulating

root water-pumping activity and the involvement of

these proteins in the control of water transport and cre-

ation of the root pressure.

MATERIALS AND METHODS

Experiments were performed with detached roots of

etiolated maize seedlings (



 

Zea

 

 

 

mays

 

 L., hybrid Pioner).



Plants were grown at 

 

23°ë



 

 for 5–7 days. Thereafter,

seedlings with straight primary roots 12–15 cm in

length were selected. The root apical parts 5 cm in

length were cut with a safety razor and used in further

work.


Along with these root fragments, we used so-called

“mittens” prepared from them. To this end, roots were

bent at a distance of 7

 



 

8 cm from the apex in such a

way that the cortex was broken and then removed care-

fully the vascular cylinder, trying not to damage the

root apical part. During vascular cylinder removal, the

endodermis was ruptured. Thus, the mittens comprised

the rhizodermis, cortex, and some cells of the broken

endodermis; an elongated empty space was instead of

the vascular cylinder (figure). Thus, it did not contained

xylem and a xylem sap. When the removed vascular

cylinder was shorter than the mitten by more than 0.5

cm, such mittens were discarded. Thereafter, the mitten

was cut in the water drop with a safety razor, so that its

length was 5 cm, i.e., was equal to the length of the root

with the vascular cylinder, also used in experiments.

This root part will be called further as intact root as dis-

tinct from the mitten.

Thus, we compared the behavior of intact roots and

the mittens. When the mitten was fastened in water ver-

tically in such a way that its upper part was above the

water surface, the liquid penetrated its inner hollow,

and in some time the mitten starts to exudates like the

intact root with the vascular cylinder retained. The exu-

dation rate of the mittens exceeded markedly that of

intact roots. Exudation in the mitten started in spite of

the absence of any solution, like the xylem sap, in its

hollow. According to the classical osmotic theory of

exudation, just the xylem sap sucks water from external

medium [3, 7]. However, the mitten exudes under con-

ditions strongly limiting a possibility of the mitten

functioning as an osmometer. Thus, exudation started

only due to only metabolic component, and later, when

the inner hollow is filled with the exudates, the osmotic

component of the root pressure begins to function as

well.

Thus, the mittens are a convenient model system to



study the nature of the driving force of exudation [3, 7].

The advantage of the mittens is that the hypothesis of

“asymmetric double membrane”, which neglect the



occurrence of the metabolic component of the root

pressure, and also the hypothesis about apoplastic

channels of the vascular cylinder, which, in opinion of

some researchers, are represent the principal mecha-

nism of the root pressure [10–14], could not be applied

to the mittens.

The rate of exudation (

 

J

 

w

 

) was measured as



described in [15] in the U-10 thermostat (Germany) at

 

30°ë



 

 for 1 h, recording values every 20 min. Both intact

roots and the mittens were preliminarily kept in the

ultrathermostat for 10 min to equilibrate temperature.

In the case of the mittens, we limited exposure to

20 min because we were interested in the observations

during the initial stages of exudation when the contri-

bution of the osmotic component to the root pressure

was the lowest. A temperature coefficient of exudation

(Q

 



10

 

) was calculated as the ratio of the 



 

J

 

w

 

 at 



 

30°ë


 

 to that


at 

 

20°ë



 

. Exudate osmotic pressure (OP

 

i

 



) was estimated

by a microcryoscopic method, using the Osmonat

osmometer (Gonotec, Germany).

The driving force of exudation (root pressure) was

determined by the compensatory method, as described

in [1]. Hydraulic conductivity was measured using the

pressure chamber [16], applying to the root external

pressure, which was chosen experimentally and was

equal to 20 kPa.

To reveal the involvement of G-proteins in the con-

trol of water transport and transduction of correspond-

ing signals, we applied the inhibitor of their GTP-bind-

ing activity, guanosinethiodiphosphate, and its activa-

tor, guanosinethiotriphosphate.

We used such concentrations of neurotransmitters

and guanosinethiotriphosphate, which stimulated exu-

dation of control intact roots by approximately 30%,

and such concentration of guanosinethiodiphosphate,

which suppressed exudation of control intact roots

slightly stronger than by 30%. Finally, we used

We used noradrenalin hydrotartrate, the tetralithium

salt of guanosinethiotriphosphate, and the trilithium

salt of guanosinethiodiphosphate from Sigma (United

States), and adrenalin hydrochlide obtained from Mos-

cow Endocrine Plant. Settled tap water served a con-

trol; it was also used for the preparation of all solutions.

Experiments were performed in 10–20 replications

with 8 samples each (see table notes for conditions for

each experiment). Statistical data processing was per-

formed using the program Microsoft Exel. The mean

values and their standard errors are presented.

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

Table 1 present the basic parameters of exudation

from intact roots and the mittens. It is easy to note that

exudation from the mittens was much intense and its

temperature coefficient Q

 

10



 

was higher than in intact

roots; the values of the root pressure (RP) and its meta-

bolic component (MC) were also higher in the mittens.

This agrees completely with our previous data [3, 7, 17,

18] and also with the data about enhanced pulsation

activity of the cortical cells as compared with the cells

of the vascular cylinder [19].

Treatments with neurotransmitters tested, adrenalin

and noradrenalin, affected exudation from the mitten

clearly stronger than for intact roots: they increased the

exudation rate, its temperature coefficient Q

 

10

 



,

enhanced the root pressure and its metabolic compo-

nent stronger in the mittens (Tables 2, 3).

The effects of guanosinethiotriphosphate (a stimula-

tor of G-protein GTP-binding activity) and guano-

sinethiodiphosphate (an inhibitor of G-protein GTP-

binding activity) on the exudation rate in both control

treatments and in the presence of neurotransmitters was

opposite. These effects were stronger pronounced in

experiments with the mittens than in experiments with

intact roots.

It is important to emphasize that, in control treat-

ment, guanosinethiotriphosphate stimulated and gu-

anosinethiodiphosphate suppressed exudation in the

mittens much stronger than in intact roots. In the latter,

guanosinethiotriphosphate stimulated exudation on the

average by 30%, whereas in the mittens by 60%; gua-

nosinethiodiphosphate retarded exudation approxi-

well: guanosinethiotriphosphate increased Q

10

 in the


intact roots from 3.0 to 3.6, whereas in the mittens,

from 4.0 to 5.8; guanosinethiodiphosphate reduced Q

10

in the intact roots from 3.0 to 1.7, whereas in the mit-



tens, from 4.0 to 1.3.

These results indicate unambiguosly the possible

involvement of G-proteins in the control of water trans-

port and creation of the root pressure in control intact

roots and mittens (without any treatments). Since the

reagents affecting G-proteins exerted a stronger action

on exudation Q

10

 in the mittens, which indicates espe-



cially substantial role of complex metabolic processes

in their water-pumpimg activity, than in intact roots, we

could suppose the relationship between metabolic com-

ponent of the root pressure (playing a principal role in

exudation of the mitten) and G-protein functioning.

As evident from Tables 5 and 6, guanosinethio-

diphosphate not only neutralized the stimulatory effect

of adrenalin and noradrenalin on exudation but also

retarded exudation to the level below control one; its

action was stronger in the mittens than in intact roots.

However, guanosinethiodiphosphate-induced retarda-

tion of exudation in the presence of adrenalin and nora-

drenalin was much weaker that in the presence of only

guanosinethiodiphosphate (Tables 5, 6). Thus, the pres-

ence of neurotransmitters was beneficial for exudation

even during G-protein inhbition. We observed similar

pattern during protein kinase inhibition by staurospo-

rine: retardation of exudation in the presence of adren-

alin and noradrenalin was weaker than under the influ-

ence of stausporine only on the exudation from control

roots [1]. It seems likely that a signal induced by neu-

rotransmitters and related to stimulation of root water-

pumping activity could be transduced also without the

involvement of G-proteins and protein kinases, i.e.,

through some other pathways.

As was aforementioned, oppositely to guanosine-

thiodiphosphate, guanosinethiodiphosphate enhanced

exudation of both intact roots and the mittens in control

treatment (Table 4). At the same time, its treatment in

combination with adrenalin enhanced exudation of

both root types (especially strongly in the case of mit-

STIMULATORY EFFECTS OF ADRENALIN AND NORADRENALIN ON ROOT

795

tens (Table 7)), whereas its combination with noradren-



alin affected only the mittens (Table 8).

Thus, some differences still were found in the path-

ways of adrenalin and noradrenalin signal transduction

related to the stimulation of root water-pumping activ-

ity involving G-proteins, although these neurotransmit-

ters are believed to be agonists. The differences noted

were small.

In general, the results of experiments with detached

maize seedling roots and the mittens prepared from

these roots argue for the involvement of G-proteins in

(1) transduction of neurotransmitter (adrenalin and

noradrenalin) signals related to the stimulation of root

water-pumping activity and (2) the control of water

transport and creation of the root pressure. These pro-

cesses occur mainly in the root cortex parenchymal

cells and are related to the formation of the metabolic

component of the root pressure.
