Abstract
Slices of corn scutellum were used to study amino acid uptake, a natural function of this tissue. The uptake of glutamine was found to be inhibited by several monovalent cations. The accompanying anion did not affect the inhibition. Divalent cations stimulated glutamine uptake, particularly at high glutamine concentrations. The inhibition by monovalent cations was reversed by divalent cations.Keywords
