The Determination of the Salt Relations of the Cytoplasmic Phase in Cells of Beetroot Tissue

Abstract

An analysis of the rate at which isotope diffuses out of disks of beetroot tissue shows that there are at least two components of the non-free space. As tlwse components are not due to differences in cell type within the tissue, it is suggested they are due to a cytoplasmic phase in the parenchymatou's cells, and to the vacuoles.
