Abstract: | Using liposomes, some possible consequences of auxin-stimulated proton secretion in plant tissues are modelled. Liposomes, made specifically permeable to protons and potassium ions, but containing at least one impermeant, swell at a rate which is proportional to the availability and hydration rate of carbon dioxide; the gas functions as a source of proton and dehydrated anion and this enables a net transfer of KHCO3 to take place. |
