CemoS/Plant
equation: transpiration stream concentration factor
brief description:
To enter the xylem, the chemical must pass the symplast of the endodermis. Chemical entry has been shown to correlate with its lipophilicity. The concentration of a chemical in the xylem water, divided by its concentration in the external solution is expressed as $TSCF$ (transpiration stream concentration factor). This equation is valid for barley plants.
