Abstract
- Grown under saline conditions, Suaeda maritima accumulates Na<superscript>+</superscript> and Cl<superscript>-</superscript> into its leaves, where individual mesophyll cells behave differently in their compartmentation of these ions. Measurements of ion concentrations within selected subcellular compartments show that freeze-substitution with dry sectioning is a valuable preparative technique for analytical electron microscopy of highly vacuolate plant material. Using this approach, absolute estimates were made of Na<superscript>+</superscript>, K<superscript>+</superscript> and Cl<superscript>-</superscript> concentrations in the cytoplasm, cell walls, chloroplasts and vacuoles of leaf mesophyll cells.
