DNP (2,4‐dinitrophenol) has been found by a number of investigators to inhibit both anion and cation uptake in a variety of plant tissues (Arisz 1953, Hopkins 1956, Middleton 1955, Ordin and Jacobson 1955, Robertson et al. 1951, Russell and Ayland 1955). Following some preliminary investigations, Chasson and Levitt (1956) reported in a brief note that calcium uptake by potato slices was stimulated by the addition of DNP. Presented below are the results of a more thorough study of these initial observations.
