Abstract
The brackish water charophyte Lamprothamnium succinctum regulates its turgor pressure against changes in the external osmotic pressure. Upon hypotonic treatment, the rate of cytoplasmic streaming in the internodal cells fell to almost zero, and then recovered to the original value within 20 min. The decrease could be inhibited by lowering the external Ca2+ concentration in the hypotonic medium. Also, cytoplasmic streaming in tonoplast‐free cells of L. succintum was sensitive to Ca2+ like freshwater charophyte. Thus, the concentration of free Ca2+ in the cytoplasm seems to increase transiently upon hypotonic treatment.Keywords
