Paper, 'Proteid substances in latex' by J R [Joseph Reynolds] Green

Description

Green writes: 'In the study of the metabolism of plants, the nature of the products resulting therefrom, and the different forms assumed by these bodies during the changes involved, attention has been chiefly directed to the seed. No doubt special facilities for investigation are afforded thereby, for the different bodies can be detected there by the aid of the microscope, and their behaviour under the action of different reagents watched. Hence valuable results have been arrived at, and our knowledge of vegetable metabolism has made considerable advance.'
