The use of P32 in biological investigation has contributed greatly to the knowledge of phosphorus metabolism. Soon after this isotope became available in the late 1930’s, many investigators studied the absorption, distribution and excretion of radiophosphorus in plants and animals.…

Although during the last decades considerable information has been obtained concerning the nature of biochemical processes during development (Needham, 1942; Brachet, 1947), our knowledge with regard to the synthesis of new protein molecules, the essentialness of such molecules in determining…
