Abstract
Determination and distribution of radioactive chloride in Pharbitis nil was investigated by a bio-imaging analyzer. When leaves that contained various amounts of 36Cl were analyzed with the imaging analyzer and then each sample was homogenized and its radioactivity measured in a liquid scintillation counter, radioactive levels recorded by the analyzer were directly proportional to the radioactivity determined by the counter. When plants that had been grown in full nutrient solution were incubated in [36Cl]-containing solution, more activity was found in young leaves than in mature leaves, while little radioactivity was detected in shrivelled leaves and the nonsymptomatic cusp of young leaves of plants that had been grown in chlorine-deficient solution.
