OSTI ID:6886320

We have developed novel and useful techniques based on ESR probes for measuring intracellular volumes and membrane permeability, as well as adapted more commonly used ones for various measurements in work on salt tolerance. Biological membrane systems, ranging from simpler (halobacteria and cyanobacteria) to more complex (sugar beet leaf segments) have been studied where specific problems related to salt tolerance and ionic transport were identified. The role of sodium and chloride transport in maintaining cellular volumes were studied with respect to the events which take place during adaptation to salt and their relationship to nitrate assimilation. 14 refs.
