Abstract
ALTHOUGH the capacity of cytoplasmic particles from plant tissues to oxidize Krebs-cycle intermediates has been clearly demonstrated1, only one investigation to date has been reported on the oxidative reactions of particulate fractions from plant tissue cultures2. Such investigations are of particular interest and importance in that they permit an elucidation of the biochemical differences between normal (callus) and neoplastic plant tissues and between tissue cultures and the parent plant parts. This work is concerned with the oxidative activity of a particulate fraction from virus tumour tissue of Black's original R 1 strain from Rumex acetosa L.
