- Biology
- 1 June 1959
Under recurrent defoliation, the loss of roots and nodules was more than counterbalanced by new growth, leading to a rapid turnover of root and nodule tissue.

Selenate and selenite transport through tomato root systems were followed for periods up to 4 h after removal of the plant tops, using Se as a tracer.With selenate, Se concentrations in the xylem…
Significance of Selenocystathionine in an Australian Selenium-accumulating Plant, Neptunia amplexicaulis
- P. Peterson, G. W. Butler
- BiologyNature
- 1 February 1967
In previous work it was shown that 75Se-selenite is metabolized by this species predominantly into ethanol-soluble compounds, with negligible labelling of the protein fraction, so the identity of the seleno-compounds present in N. amplexicaulis is of considerable interest.
Grass tetany: I. Influence of starch and peanut oil supplements on plasma magnesium, calcium, and phosphorus levels in grazing dairy cows

- Biology
- 1 August 1969
Feeding ‘Grasslands Ruanui’ perennial ryegrass, with a mineral composition believed to be conducive to hypomagnesaemic tetany, markedly lowered plasma magnesium levels and plasma calcium levels and positively correlated for individual cow means over the experimental period.
