Part IV compares the exudation of amino acids from the roots of seedling tomato and other plants grown for 4 weeks in nutrient solutions. Exudation was greater during the first than during the second fortnight. In the tomato exudate decreasing the light reduced the amounts of aspartic acid, glutamic acid, phenylalanine and leucine, and increased serine and asparagine. The total exudation and the glutamic acid fraction were increased by raising the temperature progressively from a diurnal range of 16-30° to one of 32-41 ° C. Aeration and Ca level had little effect, but the-presence of micro-organisms on and near the tomato roots reduced the free amino acids during; the second fortnight.-C.S.I.R.O., Adelaide. [For parts I-III see H.A., 27: 2436.This is a title only record which contains no abstract.The amount of amino acids exuded by roots of tomato and phalaris exceeded that exuded by clover roots. Exudation was greater during the first than in the second 2 weeks of growth. Amounts of serine, glutamic acid and alpha-alanine in the exudate of clover were small at low light intensities; aspartic acid, glutamic acid, phenylalanine and leucine decreased with decreasing light, but serine and asparagine increased. High temperatures increased the amounts of amino acids exuded by tomato and clover roots. Ca and aeration had little effect on exudation. Micro-organisms reduced the free amino acids in the soil solution of the rhizosphere around tomato, but there was little effect on clover. Unless plants are grown under identical conditions of light, temperature and soil and harvested at similar stages of growth, comparisons must be interpreted with caution.
