Abstract
The internal electrical potential of protoplasts from six different plant species was positive. Plasmolyzed cells of leaves had positive voltages of similar magnitude. Both Elodea leaf cells and tobacco protoplasts with regenerated cell walls became more electronegative during deplasmolysis. These findings suggest that cell turgor affects membrane components that determine cellular potential.This publication has 9 references indexed in Scilit:
