Translocation of griseofulvin in rice seedlings (Oryza sativa L.)

  • Published:
Proceedings / Indian Academy of Sciences

Summary

A chromatographic method of detection of griseofulvin in guttation drops of rice seedlings (Oryza sativa L.) has been described. This technique has demonstrated that seven-day old seedlings translocate the antibiotic from the roots to the leaves in twelve hours.
