Abstract
It was shown earlier by electrophysiological techniques that root hairs of the aquatic plant Trianea bogotensis Karst. (Hydroharitaceae) were characterized by intracellular K+ activity approximately twice that of hairless cells, therefore it was assumed that there are more plasmodesmata on the pathway of K from the root hair to xylem vessels than from hairless cells [2].
