Abstract
Absorption and translocation of an antibiotic by an aerial plant part in sufficient amts. to retard or inhibit a bacterial disease have not been reported previously. It is concluded from the expts. reported here that dihydrostreptomycin sulfate and streptomycin sulfate were absorbed by the stems of bean seedlings and translocated upward to the primary leaves where, within a period of 3-4 days, they accumulated in sufficient amts. to inhibit or prevent the growth and development of the halo and common blight organisms.
