[en] Contents of phosphate both in exposed and in shade branches of the apples were examined. It was found that in the control the glycophosphate was lower but the nucleoprotein was higher than in the shade treatment during the period from the end of shoot growth to the morphological differentiation of flower buds. It has also been shown that in the control the incorporation of ³²P was lower in glycophosphate but higher in glycophosphate ester, phospholipid and nucleopretein. The results suggest that the more shortage of nutrient supply, the lower of conversion of glycophosphate and the lower level of synthesis of glycophosphate ester, phospholipid and nucleoprotein in normal metabolic pathway, so that the flower buds under treatment can not be formed
