Nucleoside Diphosphatase

Inosine diphosphatase of a Golgi-enriched fraction of the onion root tip was characterized. Peak enzyme activity occurred at pH 4.8 and 7.0, although considerable activity was present between the peaks. The activity at neutral pH approximately doubled during a 4-day cold storage; no such increase of the pH 4.8 activity occurred under similar conditions. Treatment with deoxycholate or Triton X-l00 also activated the pH 7.0 enzyme. Although magnesium, manganese and calcium all supported inosine diphosphatase activity, 2 mM manganese supported maximal activity. Uridine diphosphate, guanosine diphosphate and inosine diphosphate were hydrolyzed much more rapidly than the other substrates tested. Sodium fluoride, uranyl nitrate, potassium chloride and heat all partially inhibited the enzyme. Glutaraldehyde and lead nitrate, two reagents to which nucleoside diphosphatase is exposed when studied cytochemically, greatly reduced enzyme activity.

Onion Root

Seeds of Allium cepa were grown in complete darkness at constant temperature. The root tips, collected from hours 72 to 96 after the start of imbibition, exhibited four maxima and four minima in mitotic activity. The timing of this rhythm was dependent upon the time of imbibition and not upon the time of day.

Red Radiation

A four-peaked diurnal rhythm in mitotic activity of dark-grown onion root-tip cells is initiated upon seed imbibition, damps rapidly and is lost within 5 days. It is abolished by continuous white fluorescent light, by continuous blue, green or red radiation, by low temperatures, high osmotica or anoxia. Photoperiodic light controls the well-known two-peaked persistent rhythm. The nature of the zeitgeber for either the inate or the photoperiodically-controlled rhythms is unknown.
