Abstract
A NUMBER of compounds are known to be translocated in the transpiration stream. These include the building blocks needed for protein synthesis and also compounds postulated to play a part in the regulation of protein synthesis in leaves1,2. In the present investigation the spectrum of amino-acids translocated in the bleeding sap of three plant species was compared to provide data on the species specificity of the pattern observed.
