Abstract
The site of starch formation in thin sections of plant tissues as the result of infiltration with glucose-1-phosphate was follwed by the iodine staining reaction-It is concluded that the portions of the plant which normally form starch in abundance are those which possess the greatest phosphorylase activity and hence the greatest ability to convert glucose-1-phosphate to starch.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
