Tbmperature・dependent tulip petalopening and closinglS One tyPe Ofplantoscillation. Tulippetalsopeninthemorningandcloseintheevening.Thisoscillationcanbereproduced bychangingthetemperaturefrom200Cto50Cforopeningand50Cto200Cforclosinginthe dark.Inthiscase,Cutflowerswereusedinthetesttubewith3H20.Followingthetransferof COmPletely closedflowersfrom50C to200C,Petals began to open with theincrease of OPPOSitepetalapertureandbecamestaticafter2h.Inthissteptheestimated3H20content WaSalmostproportionaltotheoppositepetalapertureandbecamesaturatedafter2h.When the opened nowers were transferredfrom200C to50C,Petals began to close with the decreaseofoppositepetalapertureandthe3H20contentalsoproportionallydecreasedwith theoppositepetalaperture.ClosedflowersincubatedatlO。Cscarcelyopenedwithverylow COntent Of3H20.Thisindicates that the temperature・dependent petal oscillationis accompaniedwithtemperature・dependentwatertransport.Transpirationforwaterlossby StOmataWaS SuggeStedtobeinvoIvedduringpetalopeningandclosing.Rutheniumred,a Ca2+channelblockerandq OLbis(2・aminophenyl)ethylene・glycol・NNN:Nてtetraaceticacid, aCa2+chelator,eXertedadverseinhibitorye鮎ctsonpetalopeningandthetransportof3H20, indicatingthatatransientelevationincytosolicfreeCa2+concentration,【Ca2+】cytmaybea CruCialfactorfortemperature・dependenttulippetalopening.However,theseinhibitorshad 58noe鮎ctonclosing,independentof[Ca2+]cyt.
