Abstract

In order to understand humic substance (HS) uptake by plants and its entrance into the plant vascular system, a microautoradiography approach using tritium-labeled HS was applied. Wheat seedlings were used as test plants. The data obtained clearly demonstrated preferential radial transport of HS by the apoplastic pathway. Epidermal and cortex cells did not remove significant proportions of humic substances, and the endodermis was shown to be the major control point for their radial transport.
