In the present work,\u0000the data on the participation of IAA and ABA in the osmoregulation of germinating in vitro petunia male\u0000gametophyte were obtained. It has been established that the growth-stimulating effect of these phytohormones\u0000is due to their action on intracellular pH (pHc), the membrane potential of plasmalemma (PM), the\u0000activity of PM H(+)-ATPase, K(+)-channels in the same membrane and organization of actin cytoskeleton (AC).\u0000Two possible targets of the action of these compounds are revealed. These are represented by (1) PM\u0000H(+)-ATPase, electrogenic proton pump responsible for polarization of this membrane, and (2) Ca(2+)-dependent\u0000K+-channels. The findings of the present work suggest that the hormone-induced pHc shift is involved\u0000in cascade of the events including the functioning of pH-dependent K+-channels. It was shown that the hormoneinduced\u0000hyperpolarization of the PM is a result of stimulation of electrogenic activity of PM H(+)-ATPase and the\u0000hormonal effects are mediated by transient elevation in the level of free Ca(2+) in the cytosol and generation of\u0000reactive oxygen species (ROS). The results on the role of K(+) ions in the control of water-driving forces for\u0000transmembrane water transport allowed us to formulate the hypothesis that IAA and ABA stimulate germination\u0000of PGs and growth of PTs by activating K(+)-channels. In addition, the studies performed showed that\u0000the AC of male gametophyte is sensitive to the action of exogenous phytohormones, with to more extent to\u0000the action of IAA. As judged by the action of latrunculin B (LB) the AC may serve as the determinant of the\u0000level of endogenous phytohormones that most likely participate in the regulation of the polar growth of PTs\u0000impacting on the pool of F-actin in their apical and subapical zones.</p>","PeriodicalId":19673,"journal":{"name":"Ontogenez","volume":"47 3","pages":"138-51"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"36539065","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
