Abstract
It is now over 50 years ago since Hoagland and co-workers reported their fundamental findings on ion uptake by plants (Hoagland 1948). In experimenting with fresh water alga Nitella and the sea water alga Valonia they found that the ion concentrations in the vacuoles of these two algae did not correspond to the concentrations in the respective algal nutrient environments (Figure 3.1).
