When pea seedlings lose about 5% of their water content the abscisic acid ((+)-ABA) level of the shoots increases ca. 20 times and the level of bound ABA, in all probability ABA-glucose, ca.7-10 times. After watering both ABA and bound ABA contents decrease within 24-48 h to the level in the control

✦ Synopsis
The patterns of transport and metabolism of IAA-2-(14)C applied to the apices of intact normal and albino dwarf pea seedlings were essentially similar under given light conditions. Light greatly reduced the decarboxylation of the applied IAA and stimulated the synthesis of indoleaspartic acid (IAAsp) in both normal and albino plants.In light considerably more (14)C was exported from the apices of normal than albino plants; this result was attributed to the reduced capacity of the transport system in the latter.The specific activity of (14)C in the stem decreased logarithmically with increasing distance from the treated apex. Light increased the steepness of the logarithmic profile. These results are discussed in relation to the rate of immobilization of IAA along the transport pathway by conversion to IAAsp.No evidence was found to support a previous suggestion (Pilet and Phipps, 1968) that IAA-oxidase activity and chlorophyll levels were causally linked.

## Summary Fruit‐set and fruit growth in pea (__Pisum sativum__ L.) depend on gibberellins (GAs). The authors have isolated a new pea mutant, __gio__, which appeared spontaneously within the population of the cultivar Alaska, characterized by unpollinated ovaries much less sensitive to applied GAs.
The labeling patterns in malic acid from dark (13)CO2 fixation in seven species of succulent plants with Crassulacean acid metabolism were analysed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry and (13)C-nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometry. Only singly labeled malic-acid molecules were detected and on
