The Distribution of Carbon‐14 in Plants Labelled as a Source of Food for Red Scale

Abstract: Citrus leaves, banana squash and lemon fruit, labelled by photosynthesis, have been used as a source of 14C for red scale, Aonidiella aurantii (Mask.). The distribution of the isotope amongst the constituents of these plants has been studied using chemical methods of separation and chromatography. In citrus leaves, whether they were labelled as discs in the laboratory or in situ in the field, activity occurred as sucrose initially, but within 5 days a comparable amount was present in the amino acid, proline, a… Show more

“…The radioactivity fixed in the leaves was determined from the count rate of a 2-cm diameter area of leaf tissue recorded on a G.M. counter (Robertson & Slowiak, 1974). The estimates were checked by grinding up similar areas of excised leaf tissue and determining the count rate by liquid scinti, l.lafion counting.…”
