| Research Abstract |
It was found in 2001 that natural cyanamide was contained in a leguminous plant, Vicia villosa subsp. varia. In the present study, it was suggested that the carbon atom of cyanamide is derived from any of the carbohydrates that are present upstream of pyruvate in the metabolic pathway. Also, cyanamide could be transferred from the lower leaves to the upper ones, based on the experiment using stable isotopes.
