MECHANISMS OF UPTAKE OF IONS BY ABOVE GROUND PLANT PARTS AND THEIR SUBSEQUENT TRANSPORT AND REDISTRIBUTION WITHIN THE PLANT. Technical Progress Report, 1961

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4819192

Progress is reported in studies on mechanisms of uptake of ions by above- ground plant parts and their subsequent transport and redistribution within the plant. Results are reported from studies on the absorption and transport of Cs/ sup 137/ and Sr/sup 90/ in cherry, the distribution of Sr/suo 90/ sprayed on bean plants in the reproductive tissues, the absorption and subsequent incorporation of foliar-applied Cs/sup 137/ and Sr/sup 90/ into the developing fruit of the tomato, the effect of temperature on the foliar absorption and subsequent transport of P/sup 32/ to stems and roots of peas, beans, and tomatoes, and factors affecting the rate of foliar absorption of P/sup 32/labeled phosphate by primary leaves of the bean.
