The ion content of compartments within cortical cells of mature roots of the halophyte Suaeda maritima grown at 200 molΒ·m(-3) NaCl has been studied by X-ray microanalysis of freeze-substituted thin sections. Sodium and Cl were found in the vacuoles at about four-times the concentration in the cytopl

The determination of ion concentrations within cells and sub-cellular compartments remains a difficult procedure, as the volumes to be analyzed are rather small. X-ray microanalysis is sufficiently sensitive, and has adequate resolution, to measure these concentrations. The major difficulties are re
A technique is described for X-ray microanalysis of unfixed, frozen, hydrated higher plant cells using a scanning electron microscope in conjunction with a cryostage. Freezing in liquid N2 is the only preparative step required. Using this method, ion distribution was compared in the roots of Zea may
