Abstract

Levels of NO-3, NO-2 and NH+4 ions in leaves of six plant species were determined by capillary electrophoresis. Levels of NO-3 ions differed by a factor of more than 350 in the six species. NO-2 and NH+4 ions were detected in all species examined but at lower and more similar respective levels than NO-3 ions.
