Studies in the Metabolism of Crassulacean Plants: The Behavior of Excised Leaves of Bryophyllum calycinum During Culture in Water.

摘要: A fundamental problem in experimental work with living tissues is the selection of samples such a way that differences composition which result from treatment to material exposed shall represent effects alone. There should be no opportunity for other processes intervene and obscure results. Complete isolation system under study can effected, case leaf tissue, only by excision plant. This has disadvantage leaves are then merely "surviving organs" soon begin undergo changes ultimately lethal. Nevertheless, reasonable length time, assumed behave manner reflects normal course metabolic events.
