- Title
The Influence of Internal Ion Concentration on Potassium Accumulation and Salt Respiration of Red Beet Root Tissue.
- Authors
SUTCLIFFE, J. F.
- Abstract
It is shown that during a period of washing in serated distilled water disks of Red Beet root tissue acquire the capacity to absorb potassium rapidly. Subsequently the rate of accumulation of this ion is closely related to the internal salt-content of the material. On the other hand, whilst the level of salt respiration increases during the preliminary washing, it is not influenced significantly by the internal potassium concentration. The implications of these observations are discussed in relation to a possible mechanism of mineral salt absorption.
