Verbatim
e0“such expansion can account for the decrease in IMPs per unit area in the cytoplasmic side (PF) of the membrane in water‐imbibed, but not in salt‐imbibed, tissue.”

Other claims from this paper (7)
- Observation Dry cowpea radicle plasmalemma had high intramembraneous particle density.
- Intervention effect Imbibition in water decreased IMP density, most strongly in water-imbibed tissue.
- Intervention effect Imbibition in salt solution decreased IMP density.
- Association Mean particle size increased with hydration, insufficiently to explain density decrease by aggregation.
- Mechanism Membrane area expansion could not account for the IMP density decrease in salt-imbibed tissue.
- Observation Imbibition changed the PF-to-EF IMP density ratio, suggesting relatively more EF particles.
- Association The membrane structural changes were probably unrelated to early decreases in membrane permeability.
