Abstract
A report of glucose translocation, an apparent exception to the hypothesis that sucrose is the major carbohydrate translocated in plants, was investigated. Carbon-14 studies of the carbohydrates in the bark of apple suggest that rather than glucose the sugar alcohol, sorbitol, in addition to sucrose, is a principal compound translocated in this species.Entities:
