SummaryA series of water-culture experiments was conducted with broad bean (Vicia faba L.), common stock (Mathiola incana R. Br.), subterranean clover (Trifolium Bubterraneum L.), and garden peas (PiBum Bativum L.) grown in normal-and lowcalcium nutrient solutions. Leaves of the plants were either injected or s,,!rfacetreated with an aqueous solution of 45CaCh with and without various additions to the dose. The subsequent distribution of 45Ca in the plants was determined by means of radioautographs and radioassays.In each species, where nothing was added to the dose, there was negligible movement of 45Ca from the treated leaf. With broad bean or common stock or both, the addition of small amounts of EDTA (disodium salt) or HCI or both, or of citric acid, caused marked movement of 45Ca in an acropetal direction in both the normal and calcium-deficient plants. Marked accumulation of 45Ca occurred in the epidermal hairs and anthers of common stock. There was also some evidence of retranslocation of 45Ca in this species.A series of experiments with subterranean clover confirmed the effect of EDTA in promoting mobility of 45Ca when either injected into a leaf or applied to the uninjured leaf surface. With low concentrations of EDTA, movement was mainly acropetal, but with a high concentration marked basipetal movement to the roots also occurred.When graduated amounts of non-radioactive calcium (as CaCh.6H20) or equivalent amounts of magnesium (as MgCh.6H20) were added to the dose, increasing mobility of the injected 45Ca occurred in both normal and calcium-deficient plants. With the highest levels of calcium or magnesium additions, movement of 45Ca occurred throughout the plant including the cotyledons and the whole of the root system.
