Soluble nitrogen compounds in tillering nodes and roots of Dactylis glomerata

Abstract

A characteristic is given of the low molecular weight fraction of nitrogen compounds in tillering nodes and roots of the grass <i>Dactylis glomerata</i> in spring and in autumn. It was found that in vegetative storage organs of <i>Dactylis glomerata</i> glutamic acid with glutamine, aspartic acid with asparagine, alanine and arginine play important roles in the storage of nitrogen. From the free amino acids pool of the tillering nodes and roots item amino acids in crystalline form were isolated and identified.
