摘要
Organic-acid secretion from higher plant roots into the rhizosphere plays an important role in nutrient acquisition and metal detoxification. In this study we report the electrophysiological characterization of anion channels in Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) root epidermal cells and show that anion channels represent a pathway for citrate efflux to the soil solution. Plants were grown in nutrient-replete conditions and the patch clamp technique 2 was applied to protoplasts isolated from the root epidermal cells of the elongation zone and young root hairs. Using SO, as the dominant anion in the pipette, voltage-dependent whole-cell inward currents were activated at membrane potentials positive of -180 mV exhibiting a maximum peak inward current (I-peak) at approximately -130 mV. These currents reversed at potentials close to the equilibrium potential for SO42-, indicating that the inward currents represented SO42- efflux. Replacing intracellular SO42- with Cl- or NO3- resulted in inward currents exhibiting similar properties to the SO42- efflux currents, suggesting that these channels were also permeable to a range of inorganic anions; however when intracellular SO42- was replaced with citrate or malate, no inward currents were ever observed. Outside-out patches were used to characterize a 12.4-picoSiemens channel responsible for these whole-cell currents. Citrate efflux from Arabidopsis roots is induced by phosphate starvation. Thus, we investigated anion channel activity from root epidermal protoplasts isolated from Arabidopsis plants deprived of phosphate for up to 7 d after being grown for 10 d on phosphate-replete media (1.25 mm). In contrast to phosphate-replete plants, protoplasts from phosphate-starved roots exhibited depolarization-activated voltage-dependent citrate and malate efflux currents. Furthermore, phosphate starvation did not regulate inorganic anion efflux, suggesting that citrate efflux is probably mediated by novel anion channel activity, which could have a role in phosphate acquisition.
