Abstrakt: The effects of dilute potassium chloride solution and of potassium cyanide upon the respiration and ion uptake of red beet tissue have been investigated. It is shown that the effects are very similar to those already described for carrot tissue. Beet tissue has the same power of accumulating salt and shows a typical cyanide-sensitive salt respiration. Certain discrepancies between the results and those reported for red beet by Bennet-Clark and Bexon are discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
