Abstract
Trace amounts of sodium hypochlorite that remain on the surface of seeds (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) after sterilization interfere with subsequent uptake and incorporation of leucine into protein when the seeds are used in metabolic studies. The hypochlorite can be washed away with 0.01 N HCl but not by washing several times with water.Keywords
