| Water Permeability of Hypodermis Isolated from Clivia miniata Roots  | | | | Abstract
| The fine structure and water permeability of hypoder mis isolated from roots of Clivia miniata have been studied. The hypodermis is composed of five layers of cells arranged in radial rows. The cell walls of these lay ers consist of primary and tertiary walls and suberized secondary walls which are lamellated. Water perm eabil ity of the isolates was low, around the value of 10^9 m s-1. This value was found independent of the pH solu tion and of the ionic exchange capacity of the isolates. Suberin extraction increased water permeability one or der of magnitude. | | | |
