Abstract
A method was developed for determining the relative concn. of C136 in plant tissue, and the distr. and movement of Cl36 were studied in tomatoes, alfalfa, lima beans and corn. Highest Cl36 content found in stem and petiole below lowest fruit cluster in tomatoes. In alfalfa, upper portion of aerial growth contained more Cl36 than lower region. In lima beans, Cl36 content of bean seeds in pods was related to degree of maturity, the less mature containing the most Cl36. Corn grain located near ear tip highest in Cl36. Tomatoes, beets, wheat and rye absorbed and translocated Cl36 applied to foliage.
