Boron (B) polyol complexes have been isolated and characterized from the phloem sap of celery (Apium graweolens L.) and the extrafloral nectar of peach (Prunuspersica L.). In celery the direct analysis of untreated phloem sap by matrix-assisted laser desorption-Fourier transform mass spectrometry, with verification by high-performance liquid chromagraphy and gas chromatography-mass spedrometry,...

In celery (Apium graveolens L.), the two major translocated carbohydrates are sucrose and the acyclic polyol mannitol. Their metabolism, however, is different and their specific functions are uncertain. To compare their roles in carbon partitioning and sink-source transitions, developmental changes in (14)CO(2) labeling, pool sizes, and key enzyme activities in leaf tissues were examined. The p...
