The incorporation of [14C] glycine and [8-l4C] hypoxanthine to some purine derivatives in overground parts of wheat seedlings was studied. It was found that adenylic acid could be synthesized from glycine and also from free hypoxanthine and in both processes inosinic acid is an intermediate metabolite
