In 3-hour, pulse-labeling experiments with tissues of incubated, expanding leaves, more than 70 % of the [1H]GA1 taken up was metabolized to the three products within 12 to 15 hours.[3H]GA, fed to the roots of 7-day-old seedlings was readily translocated to the leaves, and all three metabolites were found in both roots and leaves.[3H]GA1-X was the major metabolite in roots, whereas in leaves the major metabolite was [3H]GAs-glu.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
