Direct Measurement of Sieve Tube Turgor Pressure Using Severed Aphid Stylets 1

AUTOR(ES)
RESUMO

Turgor pressure in individual sieve tubes was measured directly by gluing capillary micromanometers over exuding aphid stylets with cyanoac-rylate adhesive. Pressures of up to 10 bars were measured in sieve tubes of Salix babylonica, with an estimated accuracy of ± 0.3 bars or better.
