| Method |
"Cellular
volumes
were
determined
from
light
micrographs
and
by
the
infiltration
technique
(means±SD)" |
| Comments |
"The aqueous volume of the leaf, expressed
in terms of chlorophyll (Chl), was determined from the difference between fresh weight and dry weight
(Table 1)...The total volume of the mesophyll cells was determined
by subtraction of the apoplasmic and gas-space
volumes from that of the mesophyll tissue (Table 1)...The determination of the aqueous volume of the apoplasmic
compartment (Table 1), enables one to evaluate
apoplasmic concentrations of sucrose and of amino acids
from vacuum-infiltration measurements of the metabolite
contents in the apoplasm (Speer and Kaiser 1991)." |
