The response of protoplasts isolated from aleurone layers of barley (Hordeum vulgare L. cv Himalaya) to internally and externally applied hormone was analyzed to localize the site of perception of the hormonal signal. Protoplasts responded to externally applied gibberellic acid (GA3) with increased synthesis and secretion of [alpha]-amylase, transient expression of the glucuronidase reporter gene fused to the hormone-responsive elements of the [alpha]-amylase promoter, and the vacuolation typical of GA3-treated aleurone cells. When up to 250 [mu]M GA3 was microinjected into the protoplast cytoplasm, none of these responses were observed. This did not reflect damage to the protoplasts during the microinjection procedure, since microinjected protoplasts remained responsive to externally applied hormone. Nor did it reflect loss of microinjected GA3 from the protoplast, since 50% of microinjected [3H]GA20 was retained by protoplasts for at least 24 h. Externally applied abscisic acid (ABA) could reverse the stimulation of [alpha]-amylase synthesis and secretion, whereas microinjecting up to 250 [mu]M ABA was ineffective at antagonizing the stimulatory effect of GA3. These results suggest that the site of perception of GA3 and ABA in the barley aleurone protoplast is on the external face of the plasma membrane.
