Flowing solution culture system maintains uniform root environment composition

Abstract Flowing solution culture enables the researcher to study effects of root environment variables independently. This flowing solution culture system utilizes air pressure and syphoning or a peristaltic pump to circulate the nutrient solution. Because this system is inexpensive, simple in design, and compact, several factors can be studied concurrently, treatments can be replicated to test for system effects, nutrient deviations, and block for growth effects due to environment. These systems have been used successfully with experiments in N form, plant growth regulators, salt stress, and mechanical stress. Non‐destructive measurements of root growth and nutrient uptake are possible.

Chloramphenicol and Uptake of Salt in Plants

THE antibiotic chloramphenicol inhibits the uptake of cations and anions by higher plant tissues when supplied at high concentrations (1–2 g/1.) (ref. 1). Since chloramphenicol specifically inhibits the synthesis of protein in bacteria2, it has been suggested that this finding indicates a close connexion between salt uptake and protein synthesis in plants1,3. However, when precautions are taken to avoid the complication introduced by the inhibition by chloramphenicol of the uptake of amino-acids, no effect of chloramphenicol on the incorporation of L-leucine or L-threonine into the trichloroacetic acid-insoluble fraction of beet slices can be demonstrated, although salt uptake is inhibited under the same conditions4. These results suggest that the action of chloramphenicol on plant tissues may not be mediated in the manner anticipated from studies on bacterial systems.
