RESUMO
A kinetic study was made of the translocation of 14C-photosynthate through soybean stems following pulse labeling and during steady state labeling of the first trifoliolate leaf. The translocation profile proceeded down the stem with little or no change in shape. Following pulse labeling, sucrose accounted for 90 to 95% of the radioactivity in the stem at all times up to 2 hours, at which time less than 3% of the activity was in an insoluble form. Kinetic data on the relative specific activities of sucrose in the leaf and petiole indicated that two-thirds of the petiolar sucrose was in the translocation stream and the remaining one-third was in a stationary pool which slowly accumulated sucrose from the translocation stream. With this assumption, the rate of sucrose efflux from the leaf was calculated to be 22 micrograms per minute, which was equivalent to a sucrose mass flux in the sieve tubes of 20 grams per square centimeter per hour.
