STUDIES ON THE DISTRIBUTION OF THIAMINE IN THE SEED AND SEEDLING OF KIDNEY BEAN BY THE PHOTOGRAPHIC METHOD

Abstract

The distribution of thiamine both in the dormant seed and in the seedling of kidney beans at different stages of germination (kept at 25°, for 14 days in the dark) was studied by the photographic method of thiochrome fluorescence and the moisture content, fresh weight per plant and thiamine content (total and free) of each stage were measured.
