Notes:
A quantitative study of the movement of 2,4-D and assimilates was made using radiocarbon-labelled materials. At the two-three leaf stage of wheat (cv Koga II) 2,4-D moved more slowly than assimilates, but the patterns of movement were very similar. At the five-six leaf stage of the cereal there were differences between 2,4-D and assimilates in the patterns of distribution from leaf 1 and from a leaf on a tiller. In both cases relatively less 2,4-D moved into roots than would have been predicted from knowledge of assimilate movement. Total amounts of 2,4-D reaching the roots did not differ significantly between growth stages but due to root growth, the concentration of radio-activity in the roots fell.
