The Effect of Water Stress On [14c]Sucrose Transport in Bean Plants

Abstract

The passage of 14C through stressed and control bean seedlings has been followed after supply of [14C]sucrose to a primary leaf. The course of synthesis of [14C]sucrose into non-ethanol-soluble compounds in the various plant parts was also investigated. Concomitant measurements of relative turgidity were made either on part of the 14C-treated leaf or on the twin opposite leaf.
