Culture of bean plants (Phaseolus vulgaris L. cv., Zlota Saxa) for 16 d on phosphate-deficient nutrient medium resulted in an over twofold increase of pyruvate concentration in the root tissues. In a variety of plant tissues, the marked decline in cellular concentrations of adenylates and inorganic phosphate (Pi) influences the activity of pyruvate producing enzymes, which are dependent on the availability of ADP. In bean roots after 16 d of phosphate starvation pyruvate producing enzymes: phosphoenolpyruvate phosphatase (EC 3.1.3.2) and phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase (EC 4.1.1.31) had higher activities compared to those of control plants. The observed decrease of alanine and ethanol concentration and also alcohol dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.1) activity in phosphate-deficient roots may be the effect of the restrictions in pyruvate utilizing pathways. The increased activity of mitochondrial NAD-malic enzyme (EC 1.1.1.40) as well as the lower consumption of pyruvate during respiration of phosphate-deficient roots indicate that pyruvate concentration in mitochondria may be elevated. It is proposed that pyruvate accumulation in phosphate-deficient roots and alternative oxidase participation in respiration are important aspects of plant metabolic adaptations to Pi limitation, and may play a role in reducing oxidative stress induced by phosphate deficiency.
