Bicarbonate as tracer for assimilated C and homogeneity of C-14 and N-15 distribution in plants by alternative labeling approaches

Abstract

Bicarbonate can efficiently be used to introduce C-14 or C-13 into plant via the leaf-labeling method. Both C-14 and N-15 showed heterogeneous distribution in the plant, although the distribution of N-15 was more even than that of C-14.
