Studies on the Development of the Ventilating System in Relation to the Tolerance against Excess-Moisture Injury in Various Crop Plants : XII. Comparative studies on the gas content and oxygen concentration in the roots of lowland and upland plants.

Abstract

It is ascertained that the specific gas content in the roots is varied according to the degree of development of the ventilating system, indicating that lysigenous intercellular spaces in the roots serve as the air canal in the course of oxygen transportation from the top.
