Sulfur Dioxide Inhibition of Translocation in Bean Plants 1

RESUMO

Exposure of the source leaf of bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L. cv. Black Valentine) for 2 hours to 2.9 microliters per liter SO2 inhibited the net photosynthetic rate an average of 75% and, simultaneously, the translocation rate an average of 45%. Calculations indicated that the experimentally determined translocation rates from SO2-stressed leaves were lower than were the rates expected on the basis of the observed reductions in photosynthesis. It is inferred that, under SO2 stress, the phloem-loading system becomes a major limiting step in controlling the translocation rate.
