Adenosine triphosphate is utilized in portions of the cell other than the mitochondria and chloroplasts therefore, the utilization as well as the production of ATP is of importance to total adenylate status. As a result, it became important to consider total ATP content of plants. When detached pinto bean leaves were exposed to 1,0 yl/1 ozone for 30 min total ATP content of the leaf decreased (12), Since ozone altered leaf ATP content it could also alter the leaf s adenylate status we wished to determine if a correlation existed between alteration in adenylates and the change previously reported in photosynthesis and respiration. Since ATP is readily broken down by adenosine triphosphatases, a reliable method of extraction and quantitative method of ATP analysis was designed for the study (8),...
