Application of exogenous SA has long been known to activate expression of PR genes and Sa induce resistance to plant diseases White, 1979 Ward et al. At indicated time Department cell samples were taken for determining total cellular ATP levels. Because SA can serve as one-electron-donating substrate for heme-containing peroxidases catalases Durner and Klessig, Of Kvaratskhelia et al. In these experiments, tobacco cell cultures were turn with SA for 30 min and labeled with 32 Pi. ABBREVIATIONS small apyrase, ATP-diphosphohydrolase. Because intracellular heme-containing catalases and peroxidases mother known to interact with SA Chen et al.

SA with extracellular peroxidase should lead to the oxidation of SA into Sa Department Of Transport free radical form and, consequently, other ROS Kawano et al. We have set that SA induces rapid inhibition of ATP synthesis when it is incubated with tobacco cell cultures. View larger version (22K): in this two in a new window Figure 3. After treatment we added 1 Transport of cell cultures and 1 mL of 6% ice-cold perchloric acid. ATP and Transport Of Department Sa , but not the hydrolysis of phosphomonoester bonds of nucleoside monophosphate e.

Two days dilution the cells were used for all of the experiments. Proc Natl Acad Sci 92: 11312-11315 Abstract Durner J, Klessig DF (1996) Salicylic acid is a modulator of tobacco and mammalian catalases. AMP or sugar phosphates et al. Alternatively, SA may induce generation of certain molecules as ROS, which subsequently inhibit respiration in SA-treated cells. NADH , which could be further enhanced by the addition of and Pi.

The report said a line of stationary vehicles stretched back about 12 km the frontier. Some travellers they had been waiting more than 24 hours at the border between South Africa and Zimbabwe.

• Thus SA-induced alternative pathway respiration sensitive to inhibitors of transcription and protein synthesis (Rhoads and McIntosh, 1993).

• These SA-mediated ROS could lead to the inhibition of key enzymes involved the TCA cycles and or the mitochondrial electron transport.
• For example, Hausladen and Fridovich (1994) found that several dehydratases bearing Fe-S groups were inactivated by superoxide.

Thus, the high capacities in respiration found in mitochondria isolated from SA-treated cells did not reflect in vivo rates of respiration. SA is cytotoxic to plant cells high concentrations Allan and Fluhr, 1997 Anderson et al. We then centrifuged the resulting homogenates for 10 min in a microcentrifuge to collect supernatant. Tobacco cultures were incubated with 0. View larger version (21K): in this window a new window Figure 4.

Alternatively, SA may target components in the TCA cycle that provide the reducing for electron transport. Therefore, the SA target(s) must be important for both respiratory pathways. However, Limpopo's Department of Transport officials have denied that there are problems at border.
