| Abstract: | The administration of dl-methionine-[114C] to Nicotia tabacum resulted in the formation of radioactive azetidine-2-carboxylic acid (isolated by dilution) which was specifically labelled on its carboxyl group. This result and other evidence strongly indicates that this imino acid is a normal component of tobacco. |
