Abstract
FEW problems in plant physiology have more general implications than that of the mechanism of salt absorption. The outstanding feature which requires explanation is the means whereby certain salts, which occur in extreme dilution in the medium bathing the cells, attain considerable concentrations in the vacuole, where they are maintained, apparently, in true solution. The obvious analogy between this process and the mechanism of secretion in the animal body is alone adequate justification for again directing attention to this question.

Blinks (private communication from W. J. V. Osterhout ) reports that ammonium in low concentration causes the formation of spores (the so-called aplano spores) by aggregation of the protoplasm. As far as the parent cell is concerned, this represents an irreversible change which is frequently caused by injury—mechanical and otherwise—as emphasised by recent experiments of Kopac at Tortugas (see Carnegie Yearbook, 1933).
