Abstract.

Distinct redox gradients were found in flowers and stalks of some plants. The ovary was found to be the most negative part in the whole pistil and more negative than the coloured perigon or corona leaves. These redox differences are in accordance with biopotential differences obtained in flowers by other authors.

Abstract

Ve květech a stoncích vybraných druhů rostlin byly nalezeny význačné gradienty redoxních potenciálů. Redoxní potenciál semeníku byl nejvíce negativni ve srovnání s ostatními částmi pestíku a byl negativnější než okvětní nebo korunní lístky. Gradienty redoxních potenciálů byly naměřeny i ve květní stopce tulipánů. Zjištěné rozdíly v redoxních potenciálech květů souhlasí s rozdíly biopotenciálů, naměřenými jinými autory.
