摘要
ABA-induced increases in [Ca2+]cyt (cytosolic free Ca2+) may result from Ca2+ influx from the apoplast and/or release from intracellular stores. In this paper, Ca2+ -channel blockers have been used to investigate this question in the detached epidermis of Commelina communis. Examples from the benzothiazepine, dihydropyridine and phenylalkylamine series all inhibited ABA-induced stomatal closure: (+/-) verapamil > nifedipine > diltiazem. Inhibition was partial, the magnitude of the effect being dependent on both the concentration of ABA and that of the channel blocker. The maximum inhibition observed in the presence of 100 nM ABA was approximately 66% at high (100 nM) concentrations of (+/-) verapamil or nifedipine. In the near absence of extracellular Ca2+ (2 mM EGTA) ABA-induced stomatal closure was reduced by approximately 22% and the inhibition by Ca2+ -channel blockers abolished. Inhibition by (+/-) verapamil was totally reversible and exhibited signs of stereospecificity, the s(-) enantiomer being a more potent inhibitor of ABA-induced stomatal closure than the R(+) enantiomer. Bay K 8644 (a fluorinated analogue of nifedipine) exhibited biphasic action on 500-mu-M Ca2+ -induced stomatal closure, i.e. agonistic at low concentrations (10 nM), antagonistic at high concentrations (> 10 nM to 100-mu-M), but did not affect ABA-induced stomatal closure. These results suggest that Ca2+ release from intracellular stores may be important in the ABA-induced increase in [Ca2+]cyt associated with stomatal closure. They do not, however, exclude a contribution of Ca2+ influx from the apoplast.
