Oscillations in H+ and Ca2+ Ion Fluxes around the Elongation Region of Corn Roots and Effects of External pH

Net fluxes of H+ and Ca2+ around the elongation region of low-salt corn
(Zea mays L.) roots were measured using the microelectrode ion flux
estimation (MIFE) technique. At pH 5.2 two oscillatory components were
found. Fast, 7-min oscillations in H+ flux were superimposed on slow
oscillations of about 1.5 h. Fast oscillations in Ca2+ flux showed a strong
dependence on the H+ oscillations and were normally leading in phase by
about 1 to 1.5 min. Both oscillatory components were strongly affected by
external pH values. Preincubation for 20 h in buffered pH 4.0 solution
suppressed the slow oscillatory component and caused huge H+ influxes in
the elongation region. The fast oscillations were 8 times larger in
amplitude and were slightly lengthened. Preincubation at pH 6.0 did not
suppress the rhythmic character of the ion fluxes but it shifted the
average H+ flux to greater efflux. The fast and slow oscillatory components
of H+ flux seem to relate to biophysical and biochemical mechanisms of
intracellular pH homeostasis, respectively. The origin of the Ca2+ flux
oscillations is discussed in terms of the "weak acid Donnan Manning" model
of cell wall ion exchanges.
