The exudate was nearly isotonic with the basal medium over a range of osmotic pressures from 100-2000 mOsm l-1. The data fitted well the equation describing a standing-gradient flow mechanism for the osmotic coupling of water to solute transport assuming reasonable values for the osmotic permeability of the cell membranes of the gland cells. The chloride contributed half of the total osmolarity of the exudate even when it constituted less than a half of the osmoticum in the basal solution. When an uninduced leaf disc was voltage clamped at zero the conductance across the preparation rose in tandem with the clamp current; this is interpreted as support for the idea that the rising phase in transport parameters during induction represents the incorporation of the transport complex into the plasmalemma of the gland cells.FootnotesThis text was harvested from a scanned image of the original document using optical character recognition (OCR) software.
