Experientia Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Zusammenfassung

Cycloheximid wirkt in Gerstewurzeln als spezifischer Hemmstoff der Proteinsynthese und des vermutlich an fortlaufende Proteinsynthese und Membran-Turnover gebundenen Ionentransportes durch die Wurzel in das Xylem. Die respiratorische O2-Aufnahme wird durch Cycloheximid nicht beeinflusst, das ATP-Niveau im Gewebe wird geringfügig erhöht. Unter gleichen Bedingungen steigert der Entkoppler CCCP die O2-Aufnahmerate und senkt das ATP-Niveau drastisch.
