보리(Hordeum vulgare)의 유묘이 $^{14}$ co$_2$를 10분 및 30분간 처리한 후 잎을 채취하여 아미노산, 당, 인산염 및 유기산과 같은 수용성 대사물질을 분석하였다. 배양기간에 따른 label 정도는 비슷하였으나 종류와 양에 있어서는 차이가 있었다. 10분 처리시에는 아미노산 분획보다 중성분회(당, 인산염에스퇴르 및 유기산)에서 label 양이 4.5배 증가하였으나 30분 처리시에는 1.7배로 감소하였다. 당분획에 있어서는 처리 시간이 길어짐에 따라 label 양이 약간 증가 하였으나 아미노산 분획에 있어서는 양과 질적으로 label 양이 현저히 증가하였다. 탄소 동화율은 10분에서 30분으로 길어질수록 현저히 감소하였다(0.125대 0.034와 0.042 mole $CO_2$/mg 엽록소/분).
Young barley plants (Hordeum vulgare) were exposed to $^{14}$ Co$_2$ for 10 and 30 minutes. Leaves were harvested and extracted for aqueous soluble metabolites which were fractionated into amino acids, sugars, sugar phosphates and organic acids. It was found that both 10 and 30 minute incubation periods had similar quantities of label but differed in the quality and quantity. It was also found that the neutral fraction (sugars, phosphate esters and organic acids) had 4.5 times more label than the amino acid fraction at 10 minutes and only about 1.7 times at 30 minutes. Label increased moderately from 10 minutes in the sugar fraction where there was a large increase in the amino acid fraction, both qualitatively and quantitatively. Photosynthetic rate was found to be quite different when the 10 minute incubation and the 30 minute incubation were compared (0.125 vs 0.034 and 0.042 $mu$mole co$_2$/mg chlorophy 11/min respectively).
