The accumulation of the isoflavonoid phytoalexin, glyceollin, occurs in hypocotyls of green soybean seedlings (Glycine max L. Merr. cv Harosoy 63) in response to the injection of a glucan elicitor isolated from the mycelial walls of the fungus, Phytophthora megasperma f. sp. glycinea. This accumulation, which levels off after 24 hours, is preceded by a dramatic, transient rise in extractable ac...

Uptake of sucrose and hexoses by cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) hypocotyl segments from free space was shown to be an active, carrier-mediated process. Separate carriers existed for hexoses and sucrose. Accumulated sugars appeared in both soluble and insoluble fractions of the tissue. At optimum temperature and pH, sucrose uptake rate versus concentration was fit by a rectangular hyperbola with...
