New Source of the j 2 Gene Governing Jointless Pedicel in Tomato

Abstract

In nonindustrial areas the prime source of SO^--₄ in rain and snow is atmospherically oxidized H₂S that is produced predominately along coastal belts by anaerobic bacteria. The δ S³⁴ analyses of atmospheric SO^--₄ vary from +3.2 to +15.6 per mil in contrast to +20.7 per mil for sea water SO^--₄. Contrary to previous studies based on Cl^-/SO^--₄ ratios, sea spray SO^--₄ is a minor source.
