Abstract
Dl-Tryptophan-β-C14 was fed to sprouting barley and radioactive gramine isolated from the shoots. Activity in the alkaloid resided entirely in one position, corresponding to that in the tracer administered to the plants, indicating that tryptophan is a precursor of gramine.This publication has 2 references indexed in Scilit:
