Increased electron density of tonoplast membranes in washed corn root tissue.
Washing corn (Zea mays L.) root segments for 4 hours results in increased tonoplast electron density in fixed and stained tissue. It suggested that previously reported increases in solute absorption rate with root tissue washing may lie with changes in the properties of the tonoplast.
