Water Transport across Root Cell Membranes: Effect of Alkenylsuccinic Acids.
Alkenylsuccinic acids increase permeability of cells to water by in corporation of the molecules into the lipid layer of the cytoplasmic membrane, thereby changing the membrane from a phase characterized by a high activation energy for water transport to a phase where only the effect of the viscosity of water is observable.
