A study has been made of the absorption and translocation of Li by wheat seedlings. Seedlings at the 1-leaf stage were treated with 21/2% LiCl soln., 10 cc. per 4-in. pot, and sampled 3, 10, 27 or 35 days later. Some sets were transplanted to unlithiated soil at 3 or 10 days. Li was estimated spectrographically by a modification of the Ramage flame method. Li was at first stored chiefly in the root. Later it was accumulated mainly in the oldest leaves: the conc., in the 1st leaf at 35 days was 71.2 mg./100 g. fresh. Results suggest that Li stored in the oldest leaves is immobile and cannot be translocated. In this respect Li bears more resemblance to Ca than to the other alkali elements. When the direction of the Li gradient between soil and plant was reversed (by repotting lithiated plants in untreated soil) Li was rapidly lost from the roots to the soil, suggesting that movement of Li into and out of the plant depends[long dash]in part at least[long dash]on the direction of the Li gradient. || ABSTRACT AUTHORS: N.
