Abstract
Bicarbonate-14C and acetate-3H were simultaneously provided to corn roots to give 2 isotopic forms of malate in the tissue, malate-14C produced by dark fixation reactions and malate-3H produced by reactions of the tricarboxylic acid cycle. Following a short pulse of exposure to the isotopes, the dissimilation of both isotopic forms of malic acid was followed. The rate of utilization of malate-3H was much faster than that of malate-14C.This publication has 2 references indexed in Scilit:
