The Apoplastic Pathway of Transport to Salt Glands
Department of Biology, University of California Riverside, California 92502
The availability of the apoplastic route for ion transport to salt glands was assessed by electron microscope examinations and by the use of lanthanum as an electron-dense tracer to demarcate the apoplast. The results show that this solute can reach the salt glands via the apoplast and this observation is discussed in relation to current ideas concerning salt gland function.
