Abstract
Leaching experiments with living slices of storage tissues (potato, red beet, sugar beet) in distilled water are described. The examination of extracts obtained under various conditions does not confirm the results of other authors. (Hansteen Cran-ner, Grafe, Grafe and Horvat, etc.) Extraction of potato tissue with fat solvents is also described. The available evidence does not indicate that phosphatides are present in the protoplasmic surfaces and cell walls of living tissues and that such compounds leach therefrom into distilled water.This publication has 4 references indexed in Scilit:
