Abstract
The urge to characterize the carbon transformations in photosynthesis has rapidly resulted in much evidence for the presence of two pathways of carbohydrate metabolism, the Embden-Meyerhof-Parnas and the direct oxidation pathway in the green leaves and seeds of higher plants (2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 11, 13, 24). However, investigations concerning these pathways in other portions of the plant have been limited (6, 7, 12,25). The present investigation was undertaken to establish whether the primary enzymes of the two pathways are present in the roots and, if so, whether the pathways are similar to those in chlorophyll-containing tissue. The pea plant (12 to 15 days) was selected for this study.
