title: Chromium-51 distribution in tissues and extracts of Leptospermum scoparium.
abstract: Leptospermum scoparium plants cultured in solutions containing Na2 (51)CrO4 accumulated most of the absorbed radioactivity in the roots. About one third of the root radioactivity was soluble in 80% ethanol in the form of three (51)Cr-complexes, the predominant one being identified as trioxalatochromate (III) ion. These complexes were also present in stem and leaf extracts. (51)Cr distribution was examined in various chemical fractions; protein and nucleic acids were especially low in radioactivity.
