Evolution of cytoplasmic Pi (Cyt-Pi) and
phosphohomoserine in sycamore cells. In vivo 31P-NMR was
used to determine Cyt-Pi and phosphohomoserine. At time 0, 100
μm homoserine was added to the perfusion medium at pH
6.0. After 1 h, cells were maintained in the medium (dashed lines)
or perfused with a culture medium devoid of homoserine to remove
extracellular homoserine (unbroken lines). The values, expressed as
μmol g−1 cell wet weight, are from a representative
experiment chosen from a series of five. Hser, Homoserine.
