Abstract
The identification of Ca2+ by X-ray microanalysis in statoliths could be masked by Ba2+. Using Ba2+ and Ca2+ containing standards prepared from algal cell walls and cellulose acetate films it is shown that there is no interference of Ba2+ with Ca2+. Hence Ba2+ is the main cationic constituent in the statoliths of Chara rhizoids.Keywords
