An Investigation of the Effects of Potassium and 

 Phosphorus Deficiency on Nitrogen Metabolism in Plants , 

 (1) Learn effect of K deficiency on free amino acid distri- 

 bution of plants; (2) effect of K and P deficiency on free 

 amino acid content and relative amount of plant protein 

 fractions. (3) Test for presence of the Krebs urea cycle in 

 higher plants with aid of Clh labeled glutamic acid.

The Roles of Zinc and Iron in Alfalfa and the Composition 

 of Zinc Containing Substances in Alfalfa . Learn nature of 

 chemical substances in plants to which Zn is bound, rate of 

 uptake of Zn by plants grown in nutrient solutions, under 

 various conditions and the relationship of Fe and Zn in plants, 

 if such exists.

Enzymes Concerned with the Synthesis of N-Methyltyramine 

 and N-Dimethyltyr amine in the Barley Root . Demonstrate that 

 decarbozylase and methylase do occur in growing rootlets and 

 investigate their properties to see if they occur in mature 

 roots which no longer product NMT and DMT.

Intracellular Respiratory Systems in Plant Tissues . To 

 (1) obtain information on properties of individual respiratory 

 enzymes in plant tissues; (2) investigate manner in which in- 

 dividual enzymes are linked together into organized respira- 

 tory systems; and (3) investigate mechanisms whereby complete 

 respiratory system of plant tissues is cApable of producing 

 energy required for physiological activities which are ex- 

 hibited by intact plant.
