1. Unfertilized eggs of Chaetopterus consume about 2.4 mm. 3 O 2 per hour per 10 mm. 3 eggs at 21°C. 2. In the 1st hour after fertilization, the fertilized eggs consume oxygen at about 53 or 54 per cent of this rate, which is about 1.3 mm. 3 O 2 per hour per 10 mm. 3 eggs at 21°C. 3. For the first 6 hours after fertilization, at 21°C., the curve of the rate of oxygen consumption is slightly asymmetrically sigmoid. The prefertilization rate is regained between 4½ and 5 hours after fertilization. Soon after 6 hours, ciliary activity begins, and the rate of oxygen consumption rises rapidly. 4. The unfertilized eggs of Arbacia punctulata consume about 0.36–0.5 mm. 3 O 2 per hour per 10 mm. 3 eggs at 21°C. The absolute determination is difficult as these eggs are highly sensitive to shaking in the manometer vessels, and these difficulties are discussed. 5. The fertilized eggs of Arbacia punctulata consume oxygen at the rate of about 2.0 mm. 3 O 2 per hour per 10 mm. 3 21°C. At 1 hour after fertilization the rate is already rising. 6. A comparison of the absolute rates of oxygen consumption, and the changes in rate at fertilization of these and a number of other eggs, together with a theoretical discussion, and a discussion of discrepancies in measurements on the eggs of Arbacia punctulata, is contained in the fifth paper of this series (21). 相似文献

A mass spectrometric method combining 16O/ 18O and 12C/ 13C isotopes was used to quantify the unidirectional fluxes of O 2 and CO 2 during a dark to light transition for guard cell protoplasts and mesophyll cell protoplasts of Commelina communis L. In darkness, O 2 uptake and CO 2 evolution were similar on a protein basis. Under light, guard cell protoplasts evolved O 2 (61 micromoles of O 2 per milligram of chlorophyll per hour) almost at the same rate as mesophyll cell protoplasts (73 micromoles of O 2 per milligram of chlorophyll per hour). However, carbon assimilation was totally different. In contrast with mesophyll cell protoplasts, guard cell protoplasts were able to fix CO 2 in darkness at a rate of 27 micromoles of CO 2 per milligram of chlorophyll per hour, which was increased by 50% in light. At the onset of light, a delay observed for guard cell protoplasts between O 2 evolution and CO 2 fixation and a time lag before the rate of saturation suggested a carbon metabolism based on phospho enolpyruvate carboxylase activity. Under light, CO 2 evolution by guard cell protoplasts was sharply decreased (37%), while O 2 uptake was slowly inhibited (14%). A control of mitochondrial activity by guard cell chloroplasts under light via redox equivalents and ATP transfer in the cytosol is discussed. From this study on protoplasts, we conclude that the energy produced at the chloroplast level under light is not totally used for CO 2 assimilation and may be dissipated for other purposes such as ion uptake. 相似文献

Aerobic and anaerobic chloroplastic respiration was monitored by measuring 14CO 2 evolution from [ 14C]glucose in the darkened spinach ( Spinacia oleracea) chloroplast and by estimating the conversion of fructose 1,6-bisphosphate to glycerate 3-phosphate in the darkened spinach chloroplast in air with O 2 or in N 2 with nitrite or oxaloacetate as electron acceptors. The pathway of 14CO 2 evolution from labeled glucose in the absence and presence of the inhibitors iodoacetamide and glycolate 2-phosphate under air or N 2 were those expected from the oxidative pentose phosphate cycle and glycolysis. Of the electron acceptors, O 2 was the best (2.4 nanomoles CO 2 per milligram chlorophyll per hour), followed by nitrite and oxaloacetate. With respect to glycerate 3-phosphate formation from fructose 1,6-bisphosphate, methylene blue increased the aerobic rate from 3.7 to 5.4 micromoles per milligram chlorophyll per hour. A rate of 4.8 micromoles per milligram chlorophyll per hour was observed under N 2 with nitrite and oxaloacetate. 相似文献

Methods used in preparing Arbacia eggs for respiration studies, in carrying through the manometric determinations, and in estimating egg quantities have been reexamined. Discrepancies in previous results are almost entirely due to a steady error in measuring egg volume by centrifuging. Volumes so obtained averaged 80 per cent too high. The respiration of unfertilized eggs of Arbacia punctulata at 21°C. is 0.9 c.mm. O 2 per hour per 10 c.mm. of eggs. 相似文献

Conditions are described for isolating functional phycobilisome-thylakoid vesicles from the red alga Porphyridium cruentum. Phycobilisome-thylakoid vesicles were prepared by brief sonication and centrifugation in a medium containing 0.5 molar sucrose, 0.5 molar potassium phosphate, and 0.3 molar sodium citrate (pH 7.0). They required ferricyanide as an oxidant and had O 2 evolution rates (about 450 micromoles O 2 per hour per milligram chlorophyll) higher than whole cells (about 250 micromoles O 2 per hour per milligram chlorophyll). Energy transfer to photosystem II chlorophyll was evident from a high F695 nanometer (−196 C) emission peak. Preparations could be stored for over 24 hours and were considerably more stable than those from the cyanobacterium Anabaena variabilis (Katoh T, E Gantt 1979 Biochim Biophys Acta 546: 383-393). In electron micrographs of negatively stained material, the active thylakoid vesicles were found covered by closely spaced phycobilisomes on their external surface. The phycobilisome number in negatively stained vesicles was 450 per square micrometer, which was in the same range as the 400 per square micrometer observed in surface sections. A cell containing 1.5 × 10 −6 micrograms phycoerythrin and 1.3 × 10 −6 micrograms chlorophyll was found to contain 5 to 7 × 10 5 phycobilisomes on a thylakoid area of 1.1 to 1.6 × 10 3 square micrometers. 相似文献

A model was constructed to simulate the results of experiments which investigated nitrification and denitrification in the freshwater sediment of Lake Vilhelmsborg, Denmark (K. Jensen, N. P. Sloth, N. Risgaard-Petersen, S. Rysgaard, and N. P. Revsbech, Appl. Environ. Microbiol. 60:2094-2100, 1994). The model output faithfully represented the profiles of O 2 and NO 3- and rates of nitrification, denitrification, and O 2 consumption as the O 2 concentration in the overlying water was increased from 10 to 600 μM. The model also accurately predicted the response, to increasing O 2 concentrations, of the integrated (micromoles per square meter per hour) rates of nitrification and denitrification. The simulated rates of denitrification of NO 3- diffusing from the overlying water ( Dw) and of NO 3- generated by nitrification within the sediment ( Dn) corresponded to the experimental rates as the O 2 concentration in the overlying water was altered. The predicted Dw and Dn rates, as NO 3- concentration in the overlying water was changed, closely resembled those determined experimentally. The model was composed of 41 layers 0.1 mm thick, of which 3 represented the diffusive boundary layer in the water. Large first-order rate constants for nitrification and denitrification were required to completely oxidize all NH 4+ diffusing from the lower sediment layers and to remove much of the NO 3- produced. In addition to the flux of NH 4+ from below, the model required a flux of an electron donor, possibly methane. Close coupling between nitrification and denitrification, achieved by allowing denitrification to tolerate some O 2 (~10 μM), was necessary to reproduce the real data. Spatial separation of the two processes (no toleration by denitrification of O 2) resulted in too high NO 3- concentrations and too low rates of denitrification. 相似文献

1. The effects of O 2, CO 2, and pressure were studied in two very different species of protozoa, a flagellate, Chilomonas paramecium, grown in acetate-ammonium solution and a ciliate, Tetrahymena geleii, grown in 2 per cent proteose-peptone solution. 2. Chilomonas and Tetrahymena live and reproduce in solutions exposed to a wide range of O 2 concentrations, but Chilomonas is killed at high O 2 tensions in which Tetrahymena grows best. The optimum O 2 concentration for Chilomonas is about 75 mm. pressure but it lives and reproduces in O 2 tensions as low as 0.5 mm. while Tetrahymena fails to grow in concentrations below 10 mm. O 2 pressure. 3. With a constant O 2 tension of 50 mm. pressure, it was found that there is no significant variation in growth in Chilomonas between 50 mm. and 740 mm. total pressure. In Tetrahymena, however, under the same conditions, an optimum total pressure was found at about 500 mm. and growth is comparatively poor at 50 mm. total pressure. 4. Tetrahymena does not live very long in CO 2 tensions over 122 mm., although Chilomonas grows as well at 400 mm. CO 2 as in air at atmospheric pressure (0.2 mm. CO 2). Tetrahymena grows best in an environment minus CO 2, but the optimum for Chilomonas is 100 mm. CO 2 at which pressure an average of 668,600 ± 30,000 organisms per ml. was produced (temperature, 25 ± 1° C.). 5. Chilomonads grown in high CO 2 concentrations ( e.g., 122 mm.) produce larger starch granules and more starch than those grown in ordinary air at atmospheric pressure. 6. In solutions exposed to 75 mm. O 2 tension (optimum) and 122 mm. CO 2 plus 540 mm. N 2 pressure, chilomonads contain very little, if any, fat. This phenomenon seems to be due to the action of CO 2 on the mechanisms concerned with fat production. 7. In Tetrahymena exposed to pure O 2, there is very little fat compared to those grown in atmospheric air. This may be due to the greater oxidation of fat in the higher O 2 concentrations. 8. Further evidence is presented in support of the contention that Chilomonas utilizes CO 2 in the production of starch. 相似文献

Mass spectrometric measurements of dissolved free 13CO 2 were used to monitor CO 2 uptake by air grown (low CO 2) cells and protoplasts from the green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii. In the presence of 50 micromolar dissolved inorganic carbon and light, protoplasts which had been washed free of external carbonic anhydrase reduced the 13CO 2 concentration in the medium to close to zero. Similar results were obtained with low CO 2 cells treated with 50 micromolar acetazolamide. Addition of carbonic anhydrase to protoplasts after the period of rapid CO 2 uptake revealed that the removal of CO 2 from the medium in the light was due to selective and active CO 2 transport rather than uptake of total dissolved inorganic carbon. In the light, low CO 2 cells and protoplasts incubated with carbonic anhydrase took up CO 2 at an apparently low rate which reflected the uptake of total dissolved inorganic carbon. No net CO 2 uptake occurred in the dark. Measurement of chlorophyll a fluorescence yield with low CO 2 cells and washed protoplasts showed that variable fluorescence was mainly influenced by energy quenching which was reciprocally related to photosynthetic activity with its highest value at the CO 2 compensation point. During the linear uptake of CO 2, low CO 2 cells and protoplasts incubated with carbonic anhydrase showed similar rates of net O 2 evolution (102 and 108 micromoles per milligram of chlorophyll per hour, respectively). The rate of net O 2 evolution (83 micromoles per milligram of chlorophyll per hour) with washed protoplasts was 20 to 30% lower during the period of rapid CO 2 uptake and decreased to a still lower value of 46 micromoles per milligram of chlorophyll per hour when most of the free CO 2 had been removed from the medium. The addition of carbonic anhydrase at this point resulted in more than a doubling of the rate of O 2 evolution. These results show low CO 2 cells of Chlamydomonas are able to transport both CO 2 and HCO 3− but CO 2 is preferentially removed from the medium. The external carbonic anhydrase is important in the supply to the cells of free CO 2 from the dehydration of HCO 3−. 相似文献

Light-dependent O 2 reduction concomitant with O 2 evolution, ATP formation, and NADP reduction were determined in isolated spinach ( Spinacia oleracea L. var. America) chloroplast lamellae fortified with NADP and ferredoxin. These reactions were investigated in the presence or absence of catalase, providing a tool to estimate the reduction of O 2 to H 2O 2 (Mehler reaction) concomitant with NADP reduction. In the presence of 250 micromolar O 2, O 2 photoreduction, simultaneous with NADP photoreduction, was dependent upon light intensity, ferredoxin, Mn 2+, NADP, and the extent of coupling of phosphorylation to electron flow. In the presence of an uncoupling concentration of NH4+, saturating light intensity (>500 watts/square meter), saturating ferredoxin (10 micromolarity) rate-limiting to saturating NADP (0.2-0.9 millimolarity), and Mn2+ (50-1000 micromolarity), the maxium rates of O2 reduction were 13-25 micromoles/milligram chlorophyll per hour, while concomitant rates of O2 evolution and NADP reduction were 69 to 96 and 134 to 192 micromoles/milligram chlorophyll per hour, respectively. Catalase did not affect the rate of NADPH or ATP formation but decreased the NADPH:O2 ratios from 2.3-2.8 to 1.9-2.1 in the presence of rate-limiting as well as saturating concentrations of NADP. Photosynthetic electron flow at a rate of 31 micromoles O2 evolved/milligram chlorophyll per hour was coupled to the synthesis of 91 micromoles ATP/milligram chlorophyll per hour, while the concomitant rate of O2 reduction was 0.6 micromoles/milligram chlorophyll per hour and was calculated to be associated with an apparent ATP formation of only 2 micromoles/milligram chlorophyll per hour. Thus, electron flow from H2O to O2 did not result in ATP formation significantly above that produced during NADP reduction. 相似文献

Net photosynthetic rates of Spirodela polyrrhiza turions, at low O 2 levels, were 6.2 and 38.8 micromoles O 2 per gram fresh weight per hour at 1 millimolar HCO 3− and CO 2 saturation, respectively, and much lower in a regular low-pH growth solution. Air equilibration O 2 concentrations decreased rates considerably, except at CO 2 saturation. The surfacing rate of turions in various inorganic carbon surroundings correlated positively with their photosynthetic rates, but were the same at high and low O 2 levels. The relevance of these findings in relation to environmental conditions conductive to germination of autotrophically growing turions is discussed. 相似文献

Background and AimsAerenchyma provides a low-resistance O 2 transport pathway that enhances plant survival during soil flooding. When in flooded soil, soybean produces aerenchyma and hypertrophic stem lenticels. The aims of this study were to investigate O 2 dynamics in stem aerenchyma and evaluate O 2 supply via stem lenticels to the roots of soybean during soil flooding. MethodsOxygen dynamics in aerenchymatous stems were investigated using Clark-type O 2 microelectrodes, and O 2 transport to roots was evaluated using stable-isotope 18O 2 as a tracer, for plants with shoots in air and roots in flooded sand or soil. Short-term experiments also assessed venting of CO 2 via the stem lenticels. Key ResultsThe radial distribution of the O 2 partial pressure ( pO 2) was stable at 17 kPa in the stem aerenchyma 15 mm below the water level, but rapidly declined to 8 kPa at 200–300 µm inside the stele. Complete submergence of the hypertrophic lenticels at the stem base, with the remainder of the shoot still in air, resulted in gradual declines in pO 2 in stem aerenchyma from 17·5 to 7·6 kPa at 13 mm below the water level, and from 14·7 to 6·1 kPa at 51 mm below the water level. Subsequently, re-exposure of the lenticels to air caused pO 2 to increase again to 14–17 kPa at both positions within 10 min. After introducing 18O 2 gas via the stem lenticels, significant 18O 2 enrichment in water extracted from roots after 3 h was confirmed, suggesting that transported O 2 sustained root respiration. In contrast, slight 18O 2 enrichment was detected 3 h after treatment of stems that lacked aerenchyma and lenticels. Moreover, aerenchyma accelerated venting of CO 2 from submerged tissues to the atmosphere. ConclusionsHypertrophic lenticels on the stem of soybean, just above the water surface, are entry points for O 2, and these connect to aerenchyma and enable O 2 transport into roots in flooded soil. Stems that develop aerenchyma thus serve as a ‘snorkel’ that enables O 2 movement from air to the submerged roots. 相似文献

A method for recording the O 2 evolution of an individual Acetabularia cell or cell fragment over a period of weeks is described. The method is based on the polarographic O 2 determination by means of a platinum electrode in a flow-through system. The mean O 2 evolution of a full-grown cell under constant conditions (2 5001m/m 2, 20 °C) was 3–6 μ1 O 2 per cell perh. Under these conditions the O 2 evolution exhibited a pronounced circadian rhythm with an average period of about 23 h and an amplitude of about 2.3 μ1 O 2 per cell per h. No significant differences were found between nucleate and anucleate cells. 相似文献

The relationship between photosynthesis and photorespiration was determined in normal and 26 mutants of barley ( Hordeum vulgare L. var. Himalaya). The rate of apparent photosynthesis ranged from 1 to 30 milligrams of CO 2 per square decimeter per hour. The variation in rate of photosynthesis was due, in some cases, to differences in chlorophyll content, in others to stomatal resistance, and in still others to unknown factors; but no single factor accounted for the variation. Photorespiratory activity, as determined by the 14CO 2/ 12CO 2 technique, CO 2 evolution into CO 2-free air, and the response of photosynthesis to low and high O 2 concentrations, was positively and significantly correlated with photosynthesis. This supports the idea that the two processes are integrally and tightly coupled. There appears to be no competition between photosynthesis and photorespiration, and the probability of finding plants with high rates of photosynthesis and low rates of photorespiration measured under natural conditions, appears to be very low. 相似文献

Photosynthetic CO 2 and O 2 exchange was studied in two moss species, Hypnum cupressiforme Hedw. and Dicranum scoparium Hedw. Most experiments were made during steady state of photosynthesis, using 18O 2 to trace O 2 uptake. In standard experimental conditions (photoperiod 12 h, 135 micromoles photons per square meter per second, 18°C, 330 microliters per liter CO 2, 21% O 2) the net photosynthetic rate was around 40 micromoles CO 2 per gram dry weight per hour in H. cupressiforme and 50 micromoles CO 2 per gram dry weight per hour in D. scoparium. The CO 2 compensation point lay between 45 and 55 microliters per liter CO 2 and the enhancement of net photosynthesis by 3% O 2versus 21% O 2 was 40 to 45%. The ratio of O 2 uptake to net photosynthesis was 0.8 to 0.9 irrespective of the light intensity. The response of net photosynthesis to CO 2 showed a high apparent Km (CO 2) even in nonsaturating light. On the other hand, O 2 uptake in standard conditions was not far from saturation. It could be enhanced by only 25% by increasing the O 2 concentration (saturating level as low as 30% O 2), and by 65% by decreasing the CO 2 concentration to the compensation point. Although O 2 is a competitive inhibitor of CO 2 uptake it could not replace CO 2 completely as an electron acceptor, and electron flow, expressed as gross O 2 production, was inhibited by both high O 2 and low CO 2 levels. At high CO 2, O 2 uptake was 70% lower than the maximum at the CO 2 compensation point. The remaining activity (30%) can be attributed to dark respiration and the Mehler reaction. 相似文献

AIM: To establish the potential of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyhexanoate) (PHBHHx) as a material for tendon repair. METHODS: The biocompatibility of PHBHHx with both rat tenocytes (rT) and human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSC) was explored by monitoring adhesive characteristics on films of varying weight/volume ratios coupled to a culture atmosphere of either 21% O2 (air) or 2% O2 (physiological normoxia). The diameter and stiffness of PHBHHx films was established using optical coherence tomography and mechanical testing, respectively. RESULTS: Film thickness correlated directly with weight/volume PHBHHx (r2 = 0.9473) ranging from 0.1 mm (0.8% weight/volume) to 0.19 mm (2.4% weight/volume). Film stiffness on the other hand displayed a biphasic response which increased rapidly at values 1.6% weight/volume. Optimal cell attachment of rT required films of ≥ 1.6% and ≥ 2.0% weight/volume PHBHHx in 2% O2 and 21% O2 respectively. A qualitative adhesion increase was noted for hMSC in films ≥ 1.2% weight/volume, becoming significant at 2% weight/volume in 2% O2. An increase in cell adhesion was also noted with ≥ 2% weight/volume PHBHHx in 21% O2. Cell migration into films was not observed. CONCLUSION: This evaluation demonstrates that PHBHHx is a suitable polymer for future cell/polymer replacement strategies in tendon repair. 相似文献

Cell suspension cultures were established from the callus proliferation of leaf explants of 10- to 12-day-old seedlings of the peanut ( Arachis hypogaea L. var. TMV-3). The cells could be cultivated in both agitated and still media, the latter promoting more of chlorophyll (Chl) synthesis. High Chl content (210-240 micrograms Chl per gram fresh weight), yield of free and pipetable cells, presence of all the pigments in the same ratio as that of the leaf tissue, and high rates of O 2 evolution (140-170 micromoles O 2 per milligram Chl per hour) were some of the desirable features of the still-grown cell cultures. However, considerable variations with regard to the above characters were observed between the cell cultures of different varieties of the peanut. O2 evolution by the cultured cells was dependent on exogenous supply of HCO3−. A well-developed photosynthetic apparatus as evidenced from photosystem I and photosystem II activities of the isolated chloroplasts and variable fluorescence measurements with the cell cultures was further documented by electron microscopic evidence of distinct granal stackings in chloroplasts and sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel separation of thylakoid membranes into P700 Chl a protein complex and light-harvesting Chl a/b complex. Evidence is presented for the relative increase in the Chl associated with P700 Chl a protein complex in contrast to the light-harvesting Chl a/b complex in the cultured cells as compared to intact leaf. 相似文献

A laser-based photoacoustic method was used for determination of ethylene (C 2H 4) production of emasculated orchid ( Cymbidium) flowers in a flow-through system. The laser photoacoustic equipment consisted of a line-tuneable CO 2 laser in conjunction with a single-pass resonant acoustic cell. The minimum detection limit of the system for C 2H 4 in air was 0.03 nanoliter per liter. C 2H 4 production of intact Cymbidium (cv Mary Pinchess `Del Rey') flowers was very low (0.015 nanoliter per gram per hour) and showed an increase within 3 hours following emasculation (removal of pollinia plus anthercap). Production peaked (0.14 nanoliter per gram per hour) 8 hours after emasculation and decreased thereafter. Production again increased 45 hours after emasculation. Coloration of the labellum appeared shortly after the first peak; wilting of the petals and sepals appeared during the second rise in ethylene production. The use of the laser photoacoustic technique in plant physiological studies is discussed. 相似文献

Wheat ( Triticum aestivum L. cv Albis) was grown in open-top chambers in the field and fumigated daily with charcoal-filtered air (0.015 microliters per liter O 3), nonfiltered air (0.03 microliters per liter O 3), and air enriched with either 0.07 or 0.10 microliters per liter ozone (seasonal 8 hour/day [9 am-5 pm] mean ozone concentration from June 1 until July 10, 1987). Photosynthetic 14CO 2 uptake was measured in situ. Net photosynthesis, dark respiration, and CO 2 compensation concentration at 2 and 21% O 2 were measured in the laboratory. Leaf segments were freeze-clamped in situ for the determination of the steady state levels of ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate, 3-phosphoglycerate, triose-phosphate, ATP, ADP, AMP, and activity of ribulose, 1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase. Photosynthesis of flag leaves was highest in filtered air and decreased in response to increasing mean ozone concentration. CO 2 compensation concentration and the ratio of dark respiration to net photosynthesis increased with ozone concentration. The decrease in photosynthesis was associated with a decrease in chlorophyll, soluble protein, ribulose bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase activity, ribulose bisphosphate, and adenylates. No decrease was found for triose-phosphate and 3-phosphoglycerate. The ratio of ATP to ADP and of triosephosphate to 3-phosphoglycerate were increased suggesting that photosynthesis was limited by pentose phosphate reductive cycle activity. No limitation occurred due to decreased access of CO 2 to photosynthetic cells since the decrease in stomatal conductance with increasing ozone concentration did not account for the decrease in photosynthesis. Ozonestressed leaves showed an increased degree of activation of ribulose bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase and a decreased ratio of ribulose bisphosphate to initial activity of ribulose bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase. Nevertheless, it is suggested that photosynthesis in ozone stressed leaves is limited by ribulose bisphosphate carboxylation possibly due to an effect of ozone on the catalysis by ribulose bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase. 相似文献

1. The respiration of Amoeba proteus was measured. 10 c. mm. of cells were found to use about 1.6 mm. 3 of oxygen per hour at 20°C. The respiratory quotient was found to be nearly unity. 2. No anaerobic metabolism was found for Amoeba. 3. The respiration of Blepharisma was found to be from 3 to 7 mm. 3 oxygen per hour for 10 mm. 3 cells. The respiratory quotient was about 1. 4. Blepharisma was shown to have a definite anaerobic metabolism. 80 mm. 3 cells caused the evolution of 12.5 mm. 3 carbon dioxide per hour at 20°C. in the presence of bicarbonate. 相似文献

Summary A number of data on root performance of six different crop species during development were measured. The plants wre cultivated
in nutrient solution. Normal plant requirements were in the range of 4 mg O 2 per g dry root per hour, 0.2–4μg K per cm 2 total root surface per hour, 2 0.2–2μg NO 3 per om 2 total root surface per hour.
An attempt was made to establish a ratio between forced water entry and total root surface as a measure of functional root
surface. The indication is that the relative surface of permeable root remains dominant during the phase of exponential growth
and declines thereafter.
The data collected are considered to be representative of normal requirements. They compare well with results published in
the literature. 相似文献
