Adenosine and guanosine are transported into Petunia hybrida pollen by a saturable, carrier-mediated mechanism. The energy poisons carbonylcyanide-m-chlorophenylhydrazone, 2,4-dinitrophenol, 7-chloro-4-nitrobenzo-2-oxa-1,3-diazole, and N,N'-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide all inhibit uptake, suggesting an energy coupled (active) transport process. Transport takes place against a concentration gradient, strongly favoring an active transport mechanism. The purine nucleoside transport in Petunia pollen differs from that already reported for pyrimidine nucleosides in that it exhibits a significantly higher K(m) for nucleoside and is not so severely inhibited by the polyamine, spermine. Like that for the pyrimidine nucleosides uridine and cytosine, however, the system exhibits a broad pH optimum, is inhibited by sulfydryl-binding reagents, while the potent inhibitors of nucleoside transport in animal cells, nitrobenzylthioinosine and dipyridamole, have no effect. Transport of both purine and pyrimidine nucleosides in germinating pollen decreases steadily with time, a finding consistent with reports that RNA synthesis and DNA repair are early events of pollen germination and tube elongation. However, since these precursors are often used to demonstrate nucleic acid synthesis, it cannot be ruled out that the lack of precursor transport itself leads to scoring nucleic acid synthesis as negative. The results indicate that the newly synthesized pollen tube membranes contain little or no nucleoside transporters.
