Abstract: | 3IP nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectra are used to monitorintracellular changes in sections of potato tuber (Solariumtuberosum), maize root tips (Zea mays) and the roots of singlemaize seedlings. Intracellular changes that result from theuptake of inorganic phosphate, D-mannose, the spectroscopicbroadening probe Mn2+ and 2, 4-dinitrophenol are described.It is concluded that NMR provides a powerful, direct methodfor following intracellular changes in plant tissues. |
