Abstract
WITH the object of correlating existing information and the possibility of establishing a relationship with taxonomy, we have examined, both qualitatively and quantitatively, the free and combined amino-acid content of the cell juices of a number of plants widely distributed throughout the vegetable kingdom, using a carefully worked-out paper chromatographic method. A complete account of the work will be published in due course; but in view of recent publications1 on the use of paper chromatography in the study of various aspects of the distribution and metabolism of amino-acids in plants, it appears to be desirable to place on record the results we have obtained during the past few years.
