Plant solute transport

Solute Transport Plant Plasma Membrane

The plasma membrane proton pump (H+-ATPase) energizes solute uptake by secondary transporters. Wild-type Arabidopsis plasma membrane H+-ATPase (AHA2) and truncated H+-ATPases lacking 38, 51, 61, 66, 77, 92, 96, and 104 C-terminal amino acids were produced in yeast. All AHAS species were correctly targeted to the yeast plasma membrane and, in addition, accumulated in interna1 membranes. Removal ...

Interactions between plant circadian clocks and solute transport.

The Earth's rotation and its orbit around the Sun leads to continual changes in the environment. Many organisms, including plants and animals, have evolved circadian clocks that anticipate these changes in light, temperature, and seasons in order to optimize growth and physiology. Circadian timing is thought to derive from a molecular oscillator that is present in every plant cell. A central as...

Composite Transport Model and Water and Solute Transport across Plant Roots: An Update

The present review examines recent experimental findings in root transport phenomena in terms of the composite transport model (CTM). It has been a well-accepted conceptual model to explain the complex water and solute flows across the root that has been related to the composite anatomical structure. There are three parallel pathways involved in the transport of water and solutes in roots - apo...

Extraction of model parameters for reactive solute transport

In the present study, tried to examine the reactive solute relationships for transport and degradation processes through the rockfill media. By applying the analytical solution of reactive transport, the 1st to 3rd theoretical temporal moments have been extracted then, by using two methods of curve fitting and temporal moment matching, the coefficients of dispersion and degradation have been ex...
