Detection and characterization of nitrogen circulation through the sieve tubes and xylem vessels of rice plants

Nitrogen movement through the xylem vessels and sieve tubes in rice plants was studied using xylem and phloem sap analysis in combination with stable and radioactive nitrogen isotope techniques. More than 90% of nitrogen was translocated in the sieve tubes of rice plants as amino acids. When ¹⁵N (99...
