Quantitative Analysis of Photosynthate Unloading in Developing Seeds of Phaseolus vulgaris L.

Abstract: The pathway and kinetics of photosynthate unloading in developing seeds of bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) were investigated using steady-state labeling with '4C02. The continuous assimilation of 14CO2 at constant specific activity produced stable tracer fluxes that facilitated straighiforward analyses of photosynthate import and unloading in developing seeds. The kinetics of tracer equilibration within intact seeds were compatible with a symplastic route of photosynthate unloading in the seed coat. The import an… Show more

“…Plants were labeled in a forced-draft hood as described by Ellis et al (2). In summary, steady-state labeling was initiated between 8:00 and 9:30 AM by sealing the entire top leaf in an assimilation chamber about 9 min after beginning the light period.…”
