Young seedlings ofZea mays L. andCucurbita pepo L. were grown in water culture with a layer of oil (linum or olive oil) or liquid paraffin. The seedlings transport oil and parafin into the top and in the young root.Cucurbita seedlings proved to be very sensitive and died within few days.Zea proved to be resistant. InZea this transport of oil was found to be related to the age of the seedlings and the zone of the root in contact with oil. The oil was localised in the cell walls of different tissues of root and top, in the intercellular spaces of cortex and pith and in the xylem vessels.
