Abstract
The half-time for THO equilibration was three times longer for a living carrot (Daucus carota L.) cylinder than for a dead one. Furthermore, the energy of activation of THO flux was more than twice as high for the living cylinder. Passage through living membranes thus constitutes a rate-limiting step for THO flux in carrot tissue.Keywords
