IntroductionCalcium has long been regarded as an essential element for most plants, and many roles have been assigned to it by numerous investigators. It is, however, beyond the scope of this paper to review all of the literature dealing with calcium, or with each of the many roles that have been attributed to it. The recent review by MILLER (11) is an excellent source for a general survey of the literature.

“…Early work by Eckerson (1924) showed calcium to be essential for the reduction of nitrate in protein synthesis in plants. This was later confirmed by Nightingale et al (1931) who clearly demonstrated that calcium-deficient tomato plants were incapable of absorbing and assimilating nitrate. Skok (1941) found that bean plants supplied with adequate calcium made better growth on nitrate than on urea nitrogen, whereas when grown at a low calcium status the urea then became the superior nitrogen source.…”

SummaryUsing either ammonium or nitrate as the nitrogen sources, dry matter yields were highest from plants grown on a normal calcium nutrition, whereas plants supplied with urea grew best at low calcium level. When ammonium and nitrate were added together, yields were independent of the calcium concentration in the substrate. Plants fed solely ammonium nitrogen made extremely poor growth.The main factor affecting 45Ca distribution within subterranean clover was the calcium concentration in the substrate. The percentage of 45Ca retained in the roots was greatest at the low calcium level. At this level it was also greatest in the plants fed ammonium and least in those fed ammonium plus nitrate. The concentration of 45Ca in plant tops was equal in the presence of ammonium plus nitrate or urea, and higher than with nitrate or ammonium. Between nitrogen sources the lamina:petiole, leaf edge:leaf centre, and petiole distal:petiole proximal ratios of 45Ca concentrations were different at the low, but not at the normal, calcium level.

“…When it is considered that plants of these treatments were likely deficient in calcium at the time of final harvest (8), a lower rate of nitrate reduction conforms to the results of BURRELL (6). NIGHTINGALE et al (29) noted low protein contents in calcium deficient plants and ascribed these results to a very limited ability of these plants to absorb nitrate and to restricted reduction of the nitrate absorbed. GAUCH (12) has since shown that the limited absorption of nitrate was associated with high magnesium contents of the minus calcium nutrient solutions employed.…”

The nature of the carbohydrates of translocation and the reserve carbohydrates in guayule has only recently been elucidated. McRARY and TRAUB (28) isolated a fructosan, tentatively identified as inulin, and HAS- SID et al. (19) definitely characterized this substance as inulin. Later, TRAUB and SLATTERY (41) showed that in addition to inulin, levulins are also present in guayule tissue, and in relatively greater amounts. TRAUB aid SLATTERY (41) also indicated the importance of relating the 89 per cent.ethanol soluble and insoluble levulins to planit functioning. TRAUB, SLAT-TERY and WALTER (42) have shown that the carbohydrates of translocation in guayule are apparently the free reducing sugars since they are always present in relatively small amounts in the roots, stems alnd branches but predominate in the leaves. These workers have also shown that of the total free reducing sugars, the amounts of free nion-fructose sugars are always greater than the amounits of free fructose in spite of the fact that the chief reserve carbohydrates in guayule are polymers of fructose, levulins and inulin. The coniditions of the present experiment were not conducive to large accumulations of inulin, or higher polymer levulins, insofar as the experiment consisted of a phase of rapid growth.So far as the writers are aware, no detailed study has been made of the nitrogenous fractions in guayule.Effects of potassium supply upon growth responses and mineral contents of guayule plants and upon cation and inorganic and organic aniion contents of the leaves have been reported (8,9). In this paper are considered carbohydrate and nitrogenous fractions in tissues of the same plants. Carbohydrate fractionis in plants grown with and without potassium are also reported. MethodsThe miiethods employed in growing the plants have been described (8).
