Abstract

In developing seed of Vicia faba L., solutes imported through the phloem of the coats move symplastically from the sieve elements to a specialized set of cells (the thin-walled parenchyma transfer cells) for release to the seed apoplast. Potassium (K+) is the predominant cation released from the seed coats. To elucidate the mechanisms of K+ efflux from seed coat to seed apoplast, whole-cell currents across the plasma membranes of protoplast of thin-walled parenchyma transfer cells were measured using the whole-cell patch-clamp technique.
