Abscisic Acid Accumulation Is Not Required for Proline Accumulation in Wilted Leaves 1

Zusammenfassung: | Leaves from dark-grown barley (
Hordeum vulgare
L. var Larker) seedlings grown in the presence and absence of fluridone were used to determine whether or not abscisic acid (ABA) accumulation was necessary for proline to accumulate in wilted tissue. Wilted tissue (polyethylene glycol-treated) leaves from fluridone-grown seedlings did not accumulate ABA but did accumulate proline at a rate that was not different from the non-fluridone-treated leaves. Thus ABA accumulation is not required for wilting-induced proline accumulation in barley leaves. Proline accumulation in wilted leaves from the wilty tomato (
Lycopersicon esculentum
) mutant,
flacca
, was compared to that in the wild type, Rheinlands Ruhm. Proline accumulated in wilted leaves from
flacca.
The rate of accumulation was faster in
flacca
compared to the rate in the wild type because the wilty mutant wilted faster. ABA accumulated in wilted leaves from the wild type but not in the wilty mutant. This result is a further confirmation that ABA accumulation is not required for wilting-induced proline accumulation. These results are significant in that proline accumulation in barley leaves can be induced independently by any one of three treatments: wilting, ABA, or salt. |
