THE EFFECT OF METABOLISM ON THE TRANSPORT OF $sup 15$O-LABELLED OXYGEN THROUGH VICIA FABA ROOTS

Journal Article · · Intern. J. Radiation Biol.
OSTI ID:4821248
The transport of oxygen through continuous gas spaces in the root of the seedling of Vicia faba was investigated, using coincidence-counting of labelled nitrogen-- oxygen gas mixtures containing 19% and 0.4% oxygen. The observations indicate that, in diffusing to the elongating zone and the radiosensitive root meristem, a little oxygen is lost to the tissue. This loss occurs in the region of the cotyledon and hypocotyl. (auth)
