A pulse of blue light induces a transient increase in activity of apoplastic K+ in laminar pulvinus of Phaseolus vulgaris L.
A pulse of blue light induced both a transient increase in activity of apoplastic K+ and membrane depolarization in laminar pulvinus of Phaseolus vulgaris L. This shows that blue-light-induced net efflux of K+ from motor cells is closely related to membrane depolarization.
