Photoassimilate partitioning in nodulated soybean I. 11C methodology

An established method using 11C for the in vivo measurement of photoassimilate partitioning within intact plants was applied to the characterization of Introduction partitioning of photoassimilate to soybean nodules. In the absence of mineral N, all primary N assimilation The method describes partitioning in terms of the in a nodulated legume occurs via an energetically expensmagnitude and stability of partitioning flows, i.e. sink
