Abstract
AMINO-ACIDS can be synthesized in roots1,2, leaves2 and shoots3 of plants. However, it has not been clearly demonstrated whether the amino-acids used during the growth of young leaves are synthesized in situ or in some other part of the plant. The route taken by nitrogenous material transported into young leaves has also to be demonstrated.
