Putrescine and Inorganic Ions

  • Chapter
Phytochemical Adaptations to Stress

Part of the book series: Recent Advances in Phytochemistry ((RAPT,volume 18))

Abstract

The diamine putrescine and the polyamines spermidine and spermine are now known to be ubiquitous, and studies with micro-organisms, animals, and plants have shown the importance of these amines in metabolism and growth. Their ability to interact with the anionic phosphate residues in nucleic acids and membranes is well established. However in some biological systems, especially in higher plants, they also appear to be concerned in ionic relations, and it is this aspect which is the subject of the present review. The structures of the di- and polyamines are given in Figure 1. The function and metabolism of the polyamines in plants have been surveyed recently.1,4–9
