| Abstract: | The metabolism of D-1-14C]glucose, D-6-14C]glucose, D-1-14C]fructose and D-6-14C]fructose by leafy spurs of Itea plants results in rapid incorporation of label into allitol and D-allulose. The patterns of labelling found in the allitol and D-allulose are discussed, a direct interconversion from D-glucose and D-fructose being indicated. Allitol has been found to be an active metabolite in Itea plants. |
