Mesophyll protoplasts from primary leaves of 2, 3, and 4 week old Vicia faba L. plants and from not expanded leaves of 2 week old plants were incubated with rabbit anti-ubiquitin antibody and FITC labeled goat anti-rabbit IgG. Dependent on age of the plant material, an increase in size and number of immunoreactive spots at protoplast surfaces were observed, when incubations were performed after 16 h storage to allow protoplast to recover. A relationship between isolation stress and the intensity of immunolabeling was demonstrated for protoplasts from not expanded leaves. Furthermore, the surface of isolation stressed protoplasts showed an increasing number of immunoreactive spots when plants were previously exposed to water deficiency conditions for 1, 2 or 4 days. Water deficiency conditions and isolation stress are therefore thought to induce ubiquitination of surface located proteins. A phenomenon, which seemed to be normally correlated with early events of senescence.
