“…Aside from its effects on C. reinhardtii flagellar lengths, Li ϩ affects several signal transduction pathways in vertebrate and invertebrate cells and plants (51). One of the best-known effects is in the therapeutic control of bipolar disorder in humans (15).…”

“…Although Lil+ is nonessential for higher plant growth (Wissocq 1991), it could not be eliminated from Ace seawater. Lil+ inhibits uptake and release of Na'+ and K'+ by affecting the permeability of membranes (see Shkolnik 1984) and slows or inhibits mitosis (Chen andWolniak 1987, Wolniak 1987).…”

We designed a new, artificial seawater (Ace 25) in order to grow bulk cultures of Acetabularia acetabulum (L.) Silva with a minimum of labor. To this end, we modified the traditional recipe for cell growth (Müller's medium as modified by Schweiger et al.) We eliminated five of the inorganic chemicals and determined the optimum concentration for 16 of the remaining 18 inorganic chemicals from modified Müller's seawater. Ace 25 enables growth of A. acetabulum from the beginning of the juvenile phase through gametangial formation in 11 weeks at high cell densities without medium replenishment. This represents a 98% reduction in the seawater volume required to mature each cell, a 30–40% reduction of the duration of the life cycle, an estimated 80% reduction in labor, and a 50–95% reduction in the space required for culturing A. acetabulum as compared with traditional procedures. These improvements may facilitate studies that require large numbers of cells such as population studies, genetics, and biochemistry, contribute to understanding the nutritional requirements of marine algae, and extend the use of this cell to those who lack the space or manpower to grow the cells in the traditional manner.

“…Because Li + functions by interfering with the generation of the PI second messenger that regulates Ca 2 § mobilization (Berridge et al, 1989;Keizer et al, 1995), its effects usually can be reversed with intermediates of the PI cycle or by Ca 2+ (Wissocq et al, 1991). Ca 2+ treatment interrupts the accumulation of ACS5 transcripts induced by Li + in Arabidopsis (Liang et al, 1996).…”

Differential accumulation of transcripts for ACC synthase homologs in etiolated mung bean hypocotyls in response to Li+

In mung beau (V/gna radiata), 1-aminocyclopropane-l-carboxylate synthase (ACS) is encoded by a multigene family that comprises at least seven members. Their expression is induced by hormones, developmental signals, inhibition of protein synthesis, or stress. We performed an RT.PCR assay to understand the differential accumulation of transcripts for ACC synthase homologs as a response to Li + in etiolated mung beau hypocotyls.Treating the seedlings with LiCI caused inductions of the ACS1, ACS4, ACS$, ACS6, and ACS7 genes. The induction level of ACS7 was particularly high. This effect on ACS7 expression was specific, lasting more than 8 h after the treatment. To understand the relationship of this Li + action with the phosphoinositide (PI) second messenger system, we examined the effect of Ca 2+ treatment on Li+-induction of the ACS7 gene. Because Ca z+ did not reverse the Li + effect, we suggest that regulation of the ACS7 gene by Li + in the mung beau may not involve the P! system.
