Abstract
The translocation of naturally loaded carbon-11 was studied in the moonflower (Ipomoea alba L.) and its response to freezing and chilling determined. The immediate (within 5 min) effects of either freezing or chilling a short length of either stem or petiole seem broadly similar: translocation in regions near the cold block is altered at once and translocation in regions far from the block can also be changed forthwith. This response is a whole-plant response and of considerable complexity. The results are consistent with a mass flow mechanism.This publication has 2 references indexed in Scilit:
