RESUMO
The addition of 1 micromolar 2,3,5-triiodobenzoic acid (TIBA) to solutions containing KCl resulted in the inhibition of K and Cl uptake in excised barley roots. The effectiveness of TIBA as an inhibitor increased as the pH of the treatment solution decreased and approached the pKa of TIBA. A lag period of approximately 20 minutes existed prior to the onset of TIBA induced inhibition of ion uptake. Respiratory activity was also inhibited by TIBA. The data suggest that in this material, TIBA functions by entering the cytoplasm and inhibiting metabolism. Comparisons made on the effect of added Ca, showed that at pH 5.7 and higher, Ca had no effect on ion uptake whereas at lower pH values the presence of Ca enhanced uptake by offsetting the deleterious effects of H+.
