Abstract
The present paper deals with preliminary investigation on the free amino acids and amides in albino seedlings, which were induced with X-rays in rice plant. Paperchromatography was used as an analytical technique for the survey of the amino acids, The free amino acids were extracted from the albino plants with 80% ethylalcohol. Amino acids and amides were separated by the use of 80% phenol for the first run and a mixture of n-butanol, glacial acetic acid and distilled water in a ratio of 4:1:1 for the second. The results from these studies were summarized in Table I. Albino strains which were derived from "Tarobei-Moch" were divided into 2 types from sorts of the free amino acids and amides.
