Membrane Transport and Oscillations in Plants

  • Chapter

Summary

Spatial and temporal oscillations occur in plants. Selected examples are used to show that macroscopic and rhytmic movements of plant organs arise form the activation and regulation of the electrogenic H+-ATPase and ion channels of the plasma membrane. In some cases, the electrocoupling between H+-ATPase and voltage-dependent ion channels could provide the basis for a membranar clock. Spatial patterns of pH and electrical potential along plants and plant cells could be a dissipative structure which arises when the H+-ATPase is working far from equilibrium.
