Abstract

Methods are described for separating plant tissue extracts into amino acid, organic acid, and neutral fractions by means of thin-layer electrophoresis. The electrophoresis also provides the first-dimensional oeparation for both amino acid and organic acid fractions. Separation of amino acids and organic acids in the second dimension, and of sugars in both dimensions, is achieved by thin-layer chromatography. Suitable procedures for including the study of phospholipids and phosphate esters are suggested. Extracts from 20 mg tissue can be studied easily in this way.
