Abstract

Sugar-beet seedlings grown in controlled environment for 19 days in culture solution containing nitrate were then grown with nitrate, ammonium or no N. Carboxylate levels (in meq.) were approximately equal to organic N levels (in mM) in plants given nitrate, were lower in plants grown with ammonium and were higher in plants grown without further N; this was accompanied by a slight rise in culture solution pH where nitrate was supplied and a sharp drop in pH in the other treatments.-R.B.
