P.919 middle column top paragraph: "Also, using 80 mM as the cytoplasmic K+ concentration (primary sources) in the Nernst equation, it follows that a Vm [resting membrane potential] of at least -230 mV is required for K+ uptake to occur passively through a channel. Twenty percent of wild-type cells met this condition without making corrections for the fact that intracellular microelectrodes underestimate Vm (ref 16)." Primary sources [4] & [15] investigated Arabidopsis thaliana roots & barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) root cells, respectively. |
