Distribution of radioactive photosynthetic products as well as their utilization in biosynthesis of lignin and cellulose in one-year-old pine seedlings was investigated at different growth stages. It was found that time of metabolization and the rate of photosynthetic products incorporation into lignin and cellulose depends on the organ and -on the kind of polymer synthetized
