Calcium Requirement for Indoleacetic Acid-induced Acidification by Avena Coleoptiles 1

Jerry D. Cohen and Kenneth D. Nadler

a Department of Botany and Plant Pathology, Michigan State University, East Lansing, Michigan 48824

The ionic specificity of IAA-induced acidification by Avena coleoptiles was studied, using zwitterionic, presumably impermeant buffers. The acidification was almost totally dependent on divalent cations with an order of effectiveness of Ca2+ ≥ Sr2+ > Mn2+, Mg2+; whereas other polyvalent cations tested were ineffective. The Ca2+ response was IAA-dependent. The CaCl2 concentration was optimal at 0.3 to 1 mM and inhibitory at higher concentrations. Sr2+ inhibited Ca2+-dependent acidification and monovalent cations such as K+ did not induce additional acidification in the presence of optimal CaCl2. These data are consistent with a mechanism for IAA-induced acidification involving a Ca2+ –H+ exchange.
