title: Adenine nucleotides and energy charge evolution during the induction of flowering in spinach leaves.
abstract: Changes in adenine nucleotides pool size levels have been investigated in spinach leaves (Spinacia oleracea. L. cv. Nobel) in order to characterize the transition from the vegetative to the reproductive development. The transient changes reported in this study are the earliest responses observed to date in leaves during photoperiodic induction. These results are discussed in relation to Prigogine's theory of systems far from equilibrium.
