High-affinity phosphate absorption is independent of the root cell wall in Pisum sativum
Keyword(s):
The high affinity for phosphate influx by pea root cells was not significantly altered by osmotic shock, plasmolysis, or the preparation of free protoplasts. The Km of normal roots was 7.74 ± 2.14 μM. The Vmax for phosphate uptake was reduced to 64% by osmotic shock and to 38 and 23% by plasmolysis and protoplast isolation, respectively. Efflux analysis indicated that there was a concentration increase for phosphate in the root free space over that of the bathing solution. This apparent binding does not appear to be involved in the uptake affinity of phosphate.
