Abstract

AbstractDemonstration of a regulatory effect of exogenous proline on the glycolate cycle in Nicotiana tabacum cv. Xanthi n.c.An exogenous proline supply in the light provokes an increase in free glycine concentration in apical tissues or leaf disks of vegetative Nicotiana tabacum cv. Xanthi n.c. The same phenomenon does not occur in the equivalent tissues of tobacco plants after floral induction, these being naturally rich in proline. Under different environmental conditions (light, dark, varying concentrations of CO2 and O2), the exogenous proline appears to modify one or more reactions of the glycolate pathway.
