The ion content of compartments within plant root cells has been studied by three different methods; flux analysis using radioactive isotopes, longitudinal ion profiles and X-ray microanalysis. The data provide estimates of the concentrations of K+ and CI− in the cytoplasm of roots of culture solution and salt grown maize by three independent methods.
In the cultivar LG11 grown in 50 mol m−3 NaCl X-ray microanalysis, compartmental analysis and longitudinal profiles yielded approximately agreeing values for cytoplasmic K+ of 90, 70 and 62 mol m−33 of tissue volume respectively. However, the methods disagreed on cytoplasmic Cl− where the value obtained by compartmental analysis was about four times that from X-ray microanalysis and longitudinal profiles. Possible reasons for this are discussed.
