Popis: | Plants of Commelina communis L. were grown in culture solution to which NaCl was added for 48 h. The solutions were then replaced with normal medium, so that the plants could recover from the stress. The water potential increased almost to that of the controls during 4 h of recovery, but stomatal resistance stayed high. Cytokinin treatment of leaf discs failed to enhance recovery of stomatal aperture, although it enhanced stomatal recovery of identically treated epidermal tissue. Proline levels in leaves correlated well with stomatal resistance. Incubation of epidermal tissue in D-proline inhibited stomatal opening. NaCl and benzyladenine interacted with the effect of proline, and the effect of abscisic acid and was additive to that of proline. |
