Summary
Exposure of the leaves of young barley plants to nitrogen dioxide (NO2) was shown to affect the rate of translocation of N, the form in which it is transported in the xylem stream and the partitioning of N between roots and shoots. Following its entry through the leaves, NO2 is assimilated by the plant into reduced nitrogenous compounds which accounted for the major increases in plant N content and growth. The various effects of atmospheric NO2 upon barley seedlings were strongly influenced by nitrate supply to the roots.
