Table I.
14C activity in the root 20 h after the end of the pulse feed to leaf 2 of intact and partially defoliated plants of wheat
Values represent means ± sem (n = 3). Significant differences (P < 0.05) as determined by two-tailed unpaired t test are indicated by different postscripts.
Treatment | Cumulative 14C Export from Fed Leaf 2 | 14C Activity in Root | 14C Activity in Root |
---|---|---|---|

Intact | 77.8 ± 2.1a | 15.5 ± 2.5a | 20.1 ± 3.7a |
Defoliated | 79.4 ± 1.9a | 0.8 ± 0.2b | 1.0 ± 0.3b |
