Is the Cytosolic Pi Concentration a Limiting Factor for Plant Cell Respiration?

Fabrice Rebeille, Richard Bligny and Roland Douce

Physiologie Cellulaire Végétale. E.R.A. 847, Centre d'Etudes Nucléaires et Université Scientifique et Médicale de Grenoble-85 X, 38041 Grenoble Cédex, France

The substrate-dependent O2 uptake by sycamore (Acer pseudoplatanus L.) cell mitochondria in the presence of ADP and limiting Pi concentrations has been measured. The Pi concentration for half-maximum O2 uptake rate was found to be in the range 20 to 50 micromolar for all the substrates tested. 31P NMR of intact sycamore cells indicated that the Pi concentration in the cytoplasm was in the range 5 to 6 millimolar, approximately 100-fold higher than the Pi concentration required for maximum O2 uptake rates by isolated mitochondria. When sycamore cells were transferred to a culture medium devoid of Pi, the cytoplasmic Pi concentration decreased from 6 to less than 3 millimolar, but the intact cell respiration remained practically constant for at least 4 days. These results strongly suggest that, in vivo, the respiration rate of sycamore cells is not limited by the quantity of Pi supplied to the mitochondria.
