Figure 3. Distribution of C in plant tissues as a function of solubility. Barley, corn, cotton, peanut cell cultures, and soybeans were treated with V C] PCNB for 3 days. Lake water rich in blue green algae was treated for 9 h. Peanut plants were treated for 2 days and subjected to a 2-day post-treatment incubation.

Figure 14. Methylene chloride- or chloroform-soluble residues were isolated from plant tissues treated with V C] PCNB. All tissues were treated for 3 days except lake water which is rich in blue green algae (9 h), peanut plants (2-day treatment/2-day post-treatment), and peanut cell cultures (1 day).
