An attempt is made to apply the Ussing-Teorell criterion for passive ion movement to root cells of young broad bean seedlings. This requires the estimation of ion concentrations in the cells, ion fluxes between cellular compartments and the external medium, and membrane potential differences.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
