Diurnal-Nocturnal Changes in the Starch of Tobacco Leaves

NK Matheson, JM Wheatley

Abstract

The quantitative changes in starch in tobacco leaves have been determined over diurnal-nocturnal periods for rapidly expanding, fully expanded, and yellow leaves. The daily increase in starch lessens as the leaves mature and senesee, and the amount of stureh not undergoing diurnal variation in fully expanded leaves is more than in rapidly expanding leaves.
