Abstract
Sugarcane leaves were exposed to radioactive carbon dioxide under normal conditions of light and temperature. The 1st stable compounds formed were malic and aspartic acids. The radioactive C of these compounds was transferred to phosphoglyceric acid, hexose phosphates, and sucrose in that order, on continued exposure to light.Keywords
