Hypoosmotic efflux transient is independent of ABA. Shown are hypoosmotic transients in the presence and absence of ABA. The rate constant for efflux (h–1) is plotted against time. Loading and initial washout in 0 mM mannitol was followed by transfer to 100 mM mannitol before or after an ABA-induced transient. Control, mannitol after 40 min and hypoosmotic transfer after 23 min in mannitol; ABA, ABA at 40 min, followed by transfer to mannitol at 97 min and hypoosmotic shock 22 min later; ABA*, ABA for the last 100 min of loading and throughout the washout, 40 min of washout in 0 mM mannitol, followed by transfer to mannitol for 23 min before hypoosmotic shock.
