Abstract
1. The effect of foliage-spray applications of the fungicide Zerlate (zinc dimethyldithiocarbamate) on the free amino acids in sugar-beet leaves grown in a greenhouse was measured in a series of analyses involving total ninhydrin-reactants and a combination of one- and two-dimensional paper chromatography. 2. Glutamic acid content significantly decreased with treatment, and glutamine significantly increased. Valine and leucine also increased significantly. Tyrosine, undetected in controls, appeared faintly in treated samples. 3. Apparently such treatment with Zerlate induces a metabolic shift wherein glutamic acid decreases in the leaves and accumulates in the roots of sugar beets.
