Address On Plant Metabolism
Experiments in studies of bio-chemical reactions which contribute to the growth process, to discover how nitrogen passes from the inorganic state to organic combination in plants, were explained by Dr. D. E. G. Sheat in an address to members of the Canterbury branch of the Institute of Chemistry on Monday evening. D. Sheat is a senior lecturer in the botany d apartment of the University of Canterbury. Dr. Sheat described how the over-all growth process, which in whole plants is very complex, is simplified by growing roots without tops in cultured solutions, which contain only simple chemicals in accurately known amounts.
