Popis: A closed growth chamber was designed to study the acquisition of autotrophy by seedlinps of walnut (Juglans regia L. cv. Lara) in controlled conditions (22 o C, 12-h photoperiod) during the first two months of growth. The chamber consisted of two airlight compartments, in which continuous gas exchange was measured on the aerial and subterranean parts of several batches of tree seedlings. Long-term labelling with 13 CO 2 was used in the chamber to study the import, distribution, and respiratory losses of photoassimilates (autotrophic carbon) in relation to the partitioning and use of reserves of the maternal seed (heterotrophic carbon)
