Metabolic Studies with Banana Fruit Slices I. Changes in the Incorporation of 14c Labelled Compounds in Response to Cutting

Abstract

Transverse slices of green banana fruit were vacuum-infiltrated with aqueous solutions of 14C-labelled metabolites and the non-metabolite a-methyl-D-glucoside immediately after cutting, and at 17 hr after cutting-i.e. near the peak of "induced" respiration.
