摘要: Longitudinal strips from leaf blades of Zea mays L., with veins continuous along their whole length, proved to be a very uniform and convenient material for translocation experiments. Under normal photosynthetic conditions strong basipetal assimilate movement was shown. In the dark this persisted as long starch reserves were available. Parts exposed darkness or CO2-free air, i.e. nonphotosynthetic conditions, became sinks which attracted assimilates, having strongest effect. Microradioautographs showed that transport assimilates took place in sieve tubes phloem.
