Abstract

The addition of an elicitor (glucan) to Phaseolus vulgaris cell suspension cultures increased the formation of the phytoalexin phaseollin. Intracellular pH and phosphate concentrations were studied with 31P nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy on elicitor-treated cells which were aerated during the nuclear magnetic resonance measurement. The pH of the vacuole and to a lesser extent the pH of the cytoplasm were affected at 10 minutes after elicitor addition; a decrease in pH from 5.3 to 4.8 was noted in the vacuole and from 7.46 to 7.28 in the cytoplasm. The ratio between the amount of Pi in the vacuole to that in the cytoplasm also changed within 10 minutes after elicitor addition. The signal for ATP (β-ATP) was low after elicitor addition and was high again 23 hours after elicitation. Forty-eight hours after elicitor addition, vacuolar and cytoplasmic pH had almost returned to their initial values. The rapid change in vacuolar and cytoplasmic pH may cause the change of metabolism that occurs in elicitor-treated P. vulgaris cells.
