Abstract

Abstract Potato plants (Solarium tuberosum L. cv. Irish Cobbler) which were intermittently misted fixed more 14CO2 than nonmisted plants. Most of the 14C was found in the sugar fraction with the greatest activity translocating to the top of the plant. The highest 14C in the nonvolatile organic acid fraction was found in the leaf which was fed 14CO2. The radioactivity of the free amino acid fraction was highest in tubers of misted plants, but was highest in the 14CO2 fed leaf of the nonmisted plants.
