Abstract

Radioactive sucrose-C14 and serine-C14 were “fed” to excised leaves from red kidney bean plants at various times following atrazine treatment. The distribution of C14 in the various labeled compounds was determined by two-dimensional paper chromatography and subsequent elution and counting. The results indicated that other processes entirely independent of the photosynthetic block are also involved in the herbicidal action. Atrazine did not affect the rate of respiration of excised embryos of red kidney bean plants.
