We report a new method for measuring cation and anion permeability across cuticles of sour orange, Citrus aurantium, leaves. The method requires the measurement of two electrical parameters: the diffusion potential arising when the two sides of the cuticle are bathed in unequal concentrations of a Cl(-) salt; and the electrical conductance of the cuticle measured at a salt concentration equal to the average of that used in the diffusion-potential measurement. The permeabilities of H(+), Li(+), Na(+), K(+), and Cs(+) ranged from 2 x 10(-8) to 0.6 x 10(-8) meters per second when cuticles were bathed in 2 moles per cubic meter Cl(-) salts. The permeability of Cl(-) was 3 x 10(-9) meters per second. The permeability of Li(+), Na(+), and K(+) was about five times less when measured in 500 moles per cubic meter Cl(-) salts. We also report an asymmetry in cuticle-conductance values depending on the magnitude and the direction of current flow. The asymmetry disappears at low current-pulse magnitude and increases linearly with the magnitude of the current pulse. This phenomenon is explained in terms of transport-number effects in a bilayer model of the cuticle. Conductance is not augmented by current carried by exchangeable cations in cuticles; conductance is rate limited by the outer waxy layer of the cuticle.
