Effects of Proline and Carbohydrates on the Metabolism of Exogenous Proline by Excised Bean Leaves in the Dark

RESUMO

Proline was metabolized when vacuum infiltrated into starved bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) leaves from plants previously in the dark for 48 hours, but an equivalent increase in protein proline was not observed. When 14C-proline was infiltrated into starved leaves, a large percentage of the 14C was recovered in other amino acids, organic acids, and CO2, in addition to that recovered as protein proline. However, extensive oxidation of proline was observed only if enough proline was added to increase substantially the endogenous concentration of proline. Increasing the endogenous concentration did not affect the amount of proline that was incorporated into protein.
