Popis: The changes in transport activity of tonoplast proton pumps under the influence of exogenous NO donator and modulation of Ca2+ concentration jointly and separately were investigated at different stages of ontogenesis and under hyperosmotic stress. The results suggest that both exogenous NO donator and Ca2+ ions can influence the activity of transport processes related to tonoplast and this influence is especially evident in the period of growth and accumulation of metabolites. Under hyperosmotic stress, H+-pyrophosphatase plays a more important role than H+-ATPase: the activity of the former increases 2.3-fold compared to the control osmotic conditions, whereas the activity of H+-ATPase is practically unchanged. H+-pyrophosphatase was more responsive to the presence of exogenous NO donator and to variations in Ca2+ concentration. The effects of exogenous NO donator on tonoplast proton pumps depended on the concentration of Ca2+, which apparently can mediate NO action.
