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