Abstract
A simplified method for the measurement of the aerobic water uptake by discs of storage tissue is described. The water uptake can be inhibited quantitatively by azide, dinitro-phenol, arsenite and fluoroacetate, all of which are inhibitors of oxidative enzyme systems and also of growth. Implications of the results with respect to the link between respiration and water absorption are discussed briefly.This publication has 5 references indexed in Scilit:
