Summary 1. Distribution patterns for the movement of solutes in the phloem from leaves of pea plants were found to be relatively specific. Phosphorus-32 applied to the leaf at the first bloom node moved predominantly (to the extent of 50 to 90 per cent) to the pod at that node. Distribution of the translocate from this leaf to pods at higher nodes was negligible.2. Translocation in the phloem of phosphorus-32 from lower leaf nodes ( i.e. 5th or 7th) was predominately downward with little or no accumulation in the pods.3. The stage of development of the flower markedly affected the distribution pattern of phosphorus-32 supplied to the leaf at the same node. Essentially no activity moved into either the flower or the vegetative portions of the plant before anthesis and fertilization had occurred in that flower, as compared to the same plant parts in plants 4 to 6 days past anthesis. The young developing embryos of the pod appear to control the movement of phosphorus-32 from the adjacent leaf.4. When the metabolic activity of the pod on plants bearing one pod only was lowered by cooling (to 7°C), the movement of phosphorus-32 to this pod as well as to all other parts of the plant was markedly diminished. This inhibitory effect of the low pod temperature on translocation to the uncooled parts of the plant was negated by the presence of a second pod (uncooled) on the plant. Lowering the temperature of the first pod resulted in a substantial increase in the proportion of the P 32-labelled translocate moving to the second pod.Paper No. 556 from Department of Botany and Plant Pathology, Ohio State University, Columbus 10, Ohio. 相似文献

Field experiments were undertaken to study the pattern of distribution of photosynthate produced by the leaves and the pods of Phaseolus vulgaris (cv. Purley King) by means of the 14C technique. It was found that the UC photosynthate produced by a trifoliate leaf (38 days after anthesis) was shared almost equally between the leaf and the pod at its axil with 33–50% of the fixed 14C finding its way to the seeds in that pod. However, during the early stages of pod development (10 days after anthesis) some 13–14% of the fixed 14C was detected in the stem, indicating the inadequacy of the pod as a sink at that stage. When the pod was treated, virtually no 14C was detected in other parts of the plant. Of the 14C fixed by pod photosynthesis in the later stages (38 days after anthesis), 55–60% was translocated to the seeds within the same pod. These results indicate the importance of current photosynthesis during the pod fill stage in P. vulgaris as has been suggested in other grain legume crops. 相似文献

The metabolism of glutamine in the leaf and subtended fruit of the aging pea ( Pisum sativum L. cv. Burpeeana) has been studied in relation to changes in the protein, chlorophyll, and free amino acid content of each organ during ontogenesis. Glutamine synthetase [EC 6.3.1.2] activity was measured during development and senescence in each organ. Glutamate synthetase [EC 2.6.1.53] activity was followed in the pod and cotyledon during development and maturation. Maximal glutamine synthetase activity and free amino acid accumulation occurred together in the young leaf. Glutamine synthetase ( in vitro) in leaf extracts greatly exceeded the requirement ( in vivo) for reduced N in the organ. Glutamine synthetase activity, although declining in the senescing leaf, was sufficient ( in vitro) to produce glutamine from all of the N released during protein hydrolysis ( in vivo). Maximal glutamine synthetase activity in the pod was recorded 6 days after the peak accumulation of the free amino acids in this organ. In the young pod, free amino acids accumulated as glutamate synthetase activity increased. Maximal pod glutamate synthetase activity occurred simultaneously with maximal leaf glutamine synthetase activity, but 6 days prior to the corresponding maximum of glutamine synthetase in the pod. Cotyledonary glutamate synthetase activity increased during the assimilatory phase of embryo growth which coincided with the loss of protein and free amino acids from the leaf and pod; maximal activity was recorded simultaneously with maximal pod glutamine synthetase. We suggest that the activity of glutamine synthetase in the supply organs (leaf, pod) furnishes the translocated amide necessary for the N nutrition of the cotyledon. The subsequent activity of glutamate synthetase could provide a mechanism for the transfer of imported amide N to alpha amino N subsequently used in protein synthesis. In vitro measurements of enzyme activity indicate there was sufficient catalytic potential in vivo to accomplish these proposed roles. 相似文献

Changes in the weight and in the chlorophyll, free amino-acid and protein content of developing and senescing, vegetative and reproductive organs of Pisum sativum L. (cv. Burpeeana) were measured, and the proteolytic activity in extracts from the senescing leaf and the subtended pod was followed in relation to these changes. Protein content decreased in the ageing leaf and pod while it increased in the developing cotyledon. The proteolytic activity of the leaf did not increase as the leaf protein content decreased. In contrast, proteolytic activity in the subtended pod increased while the protein level decreased. The proteolytic activity in the extracts from the ageing organs was greater than the rates of protein loss. The proteolytic activity of leaf and pod extracts was greater on protein prepared from the respective organ than on non-physiological substrates. Proteolysis was increased by 2-mercaptoethanol and ethylenediaminetetraacetate but was not influenced by addition of ATP to the reaction mixture. The pH optimum was at 5.0. Free amino acids did not accumulate in the senescing leaf or pod when protein was degraded in each organ. It is suggested that these amino acids were quickly metabolized in situ or translocated to sink areas in the plant, especially to the developing seeds. 相似文献

The aim of the study was to examine the response of pear ( Pyrus communis L.) trees to soil and foliar applications of boron (B). The experiment was carried out during 2000–2001 in a commercial orchard in Central Poland on mature `Conference' pear trees grafted on Pyrus communis var. caucasica seedlings planted at a spacing of 4 × 2.5 m on a sandy loam soil with a low hot water-extractable B status. Annually, foliar sprays with B were applied. (i) before full bloom (at green and white bud stage, and when 1–5% of flowers was at full bloom), (ii) after flowering (at petal fall, and 7 and 14 days after the end of flowering), or (iii) postharvest in fall (approximately 6 weeks before leaf fall). Spray treatments involved application of B at a rate of 0.2 kg ha –1 in spring or 0.8 kg ha –1 in fall. Additionally, other trees were supplied with soil-applied B at the bud break stage at a rate of 2 kg ha –1. Trees untreated with B served as the control. The results revealed that foliar applications of B before full bloom or after harvest increased fruit set and fruit yield. Tree vigor, mean fruit weight, firmness, soluble solids concentration and titratable acidity of fruits at harvest were not affected by B treatments. Foliar B sprays before full bloom or after harvest increased B concentrations in flowers, and both leaves and fruitlets at 40 days after flowering. Only the foliar treatments after flowering and soil fertilization with B increased the content of this microelement in fruit and leaves at 80 and 120 days after full bloom. Foliar B application before full bloom or after harvest increased calcium (Ca) in fruitlets at 40 days after full bloom, in fruit, and in leaves at 80 and 120 days after full bloom. Nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), potassium (K), and magnesium (Mg) in plant tissues were not affected by B fertilization. After storage, and also after the ripening period, fruits from the trees sprayed with B before full bloom or after harvest had higher firmness and titratable acidity than those from the control trees. After the ripening period, fruits from the trees sprayed with B before full bloom or after harvest had lower membrane permeability and were less sensitive to internal browning than the control fruits. These findings indicate that prebloom and postharvest B sprays are successful in increasing pear tree yielding and in improving fruit storability under the conditions of low B availability in the soil. 相似文献

The endosperm of Cyamopsis tetragonoloba (“guar”) contains 41 % of the dry weight and 45 % of the acetone-insoluble-solids of the seed, but only 3–11 % of the nitrogen and phosphorus. At least 75 % of the acetone-insoluble-solids of the endosperm is galactomannan, only about 12% being accounted for as pentosan, pectin, protein, phytin, ash, and dilute-acid-insoluble residue. During a five-day germination period at 30 C, all of the galactomannan and all but 5 % of the dry weight of the endosperm disappeared, being translocated to the cotyledons. About ⅓ of the nitrogen and phosphorus of the endosperm plus seed coat were also translocated. After a 36-hr lag, the accumulation of the nitrogen and acetone-insoluble-solids in the seedling axis were linear, while the total dry weight and phosphorus showed a rapid increase followed by a slower accumulation during the five-day period. In the cotyledons, the dry weight temporarily increased, but the acetone-insoluble-solids, nitrogen and phosphorus showed only a net decrease after 84, 36 and 36 hr, respectively. Scanning election micrographs of dry-fractured and sectioned endosperm show that the bulk of the endosperm is a solid mass of galactomannan with essentially no cell lumina; a several-cell layer (“aleurone”) of thick-walled cells of similar structure is metabolically active. 相似文献

The 14C-B9 was used by smearing the surface of the leaf of peanut plant (Arachis hypogeae L.) during the flowering stage and pegging stage. The results obtained with the measurement of radioactivity were as follows: The incorporation of B9 into peanut plant was very fast, and the radioactive isotope was so much accumulated in the leaf of the main stem one hour after treatment. Foul hours after treatment, B9 would also be occurred so much in the flower. After 3 days, the radioactive isotope was accumulated in the organs of peanut plant up to the maximum amount. In the pegging stage the translocation of B9 into the organs of peanut plant was faster than that in the flowering stape having the maximum amount of accumulation in the first day. The rate of out flow of B9 from the smearing leaf was high. It was shown that the radioactivity was mainly concentrated in the young tissues of stem and leaf, and in the flower and small pod. By using microautoradiography, the radioactivity was translocated through the vascular bundle in the petiole and stem of the peanut plant. Later, it was chiefly distributed in the cortex of the stem and the palisade tissues of the leaf. In the flower, the 14C-B9 was firstly found in the vascular bundle of the filament and the petal. After 3 days, the radioactive isotope was transported into the pollen grain and concentrated in the inner wall of the pollen sac. The chromatogram of the radioactive matter extracted from the peanut plant was showed that the compound of B9 was biochemically stable and degradated not easily in the peanut plant. 相似文献

Greenhouse nutrient solution studies demonstrated that diniconazole will decrease peanut ( Arachis hypogaea L.) shoot growth when either root or shoot applied. Root growth and development were decreased by root and, to a lesser extent, by shoot uptake of diniconazole. Diniconazole is apparently xylem translocated, but not phloem translocated. Concentrations of 200 ppb ES isomer of diniconazole in nutrient solution (root uptake) increased specific leaf weight and starch deposits in the leaf. Field applications of 193 g ES isomer ha –1 of diniconazole reduced main stem height by 33%, leaf area index by 16%, and total vegetative dry weight by 19%, but had no effect on average leaf size. Decreased germination of seeds from plants treated with 1435 g ha –1 diaminozide was associated with increased seed dormancy. Seed dormancy was counteracted by either ethylene gas or storage for 150 days after harvest. Soil applications of diniconazole were more effective than foliar appliations in reducing vine growth. Diniconazole's ER isomer is a broad spectrum fungicide that reduced damage (when compared to the control) by Sclerotium rolfsii and Rhizoctonia solani. The reduced damage by these diseases was thought to be the primary reason for the significant pod yield increase (when compared to the control) observed with the diniconazole treatments. In drought-stressed plots, populations of the two-spotted spider mite ( Tetranychus urticae) were increased by diniconazole.Mention of a trademark, proprietary product, or vendor does not constitute a guarantee by the University of Georgia or the U.S. Department of Agriculture and does not imply UGA or USDA approval to the exclusion of other products or vendors that also may be suitable. 相似文献

Phosphorous (P) fertilization is the major mineral nutrient yield determinant among legume crops. However, legume crops vary
widely in the ability to take up and use P during deficiency. The aim here was to compare P uptake and translocation, biological
nitrogen fixing ability and photosynthetic rate among mashbean ( Vigna aconitifolia cv. ‘Mash-88’), mungbean ( Vigna
radiata cv. ‘Moong-6601’) and soybean ( Glycine max L. cv. ‘Tamahomare’) during deficiency in hydroponics. Two treatments, the withdrawal of P from the solution (P-deprivation)
and continued P at 160 μM (P sufficient) were effected at the pod initiation stage. Plants were grown for 20 days. Short-term
labeling with 32P showed the uptake and distribution of P into plant parts. Withdrawal of P from the solution reduced biomass, photosynthetic
activity, and nitrogen fixing ability in mungbean, and mashbean more than in soybean. P deprivation decreased P accumulation
more than N accumulation. The decrease was more severe in mungbean and mashbean than soybean. More P was translocated and
distributed into leaves in soybean than in mungbean and mashbean. Leaf P amount was more correlated to leaf area than to photosynthetic
rate per unit leaf area among all three legume species. The results indicate that selection for increased efficiency of P
utilization and leaf area may be used to improve leguminous crops. 相似文献

The effects of phosphorus deficiency on carbohydrate fractions of Mentha arvensis L. var. piperascens were studied. Mint plants were grown in sand cultures under full nutrition and phosphorus deficiency conditions. Component organs, viz., leaf, stem and root, were sampled at four different stages of the growth cycle and analysed for various sugar fractions. In leaf and root phosphorus deficiency brought about a definite increase in all sugar fractions whereas in stem a reduction was noticed. The stem appeared to be the principal storage organ throughout the growth. Maximum sugar concentration was recorded at the age of 70 days, which represents the full maturity stage, and coincided with maximum essential oil accumulation. 相似文献

Mobilization of N from leaves of barley ( Hordeum vulgare L.) during water stress, and the role of proline as a mobilized species, were examined in plants at the three-leaf stage. The plants responded to water stress by withdrawing about 25% of the total reduced N from the leaf blades via phloem translocation. Most of this N loss was during the first 2 days while translocation of 14C-photosynthate out of the stressed blade still remained active. Free proline accumulation in the blade was initially slow, and became more rapid during the 2nd day of stress. Although a major free amino acid, proline accounted for only about 5% of the total N (soluble + insoluble) retained in severely stressed blades. When the translocation pathway in water-stressed leaves was interrupted just below the blade by a heat girdle, a cold jacket, or by blade excision, N loss from the blade was prevented and proline began to accumulate rapidly on 1st day of stress. Little free proline accumulated in the blades until after the ability to translocate was lost. Proline was, however, probably not a major species of N translocated during stress, because proline N accumulation in heat-girdled stressed leaves was five times slower than the rate of total N export from intact blades. 相似文献

Summary Decreases in the concentrations of nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, calcium and magnesium, in the shoots of wheat seedlings soon after the start of waterlogging were mainly attributed to an inhibition of ion uptake and transport by roots in the oxygen deficient soil. There was a small net accumulation of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium by the aerial tissues, principally the tillers rather than the main shoot. By contrast, calcium and magnesium accumulated in both tillers and main shoot. With waterlogging, nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium were translocated from the older leaves to the younger growing leaves, and in the case of nitrogen this was associated with the onset of premature senescence. Calcium and magnesium were not translocated from the older leaves, the younger leaves acquiring these cations from the waterlogged soil. The promotion of leaf senescence by waterlogging was counteracted by applications of nitrate or ammonium to the soil surface, or by spraying the shoots with solutions of urea, but the beneficial effects on shoot growth were small.The role of mineral nutrition in relation to waterlogging damage to young cereal plants is discussed. 相似文献

Summary In Hordeum vulgare, phosphorus retranslocation was studied after it had been supplied to the roots for three days (experiment 1), and after foliar application (experiments 3–8). Phosphorus uptake by leaves of different ages was also measured 16 and 60 minutes after 32P addition to the medium (experiment 2).In experiment 1, treatments at 0.6 and 31 p.p.m. of phosphorus were applied when the first leaf had completed its rapid growth. The plants were then grown for three days in media labelled with 32P, and for a subsequent 10 days in non-labelled solutions. Retranslocation was measured by changes in total phosphorus and in 32P.Both root feeding, and foliar application of 32P, demonstrated three phases during leaf development: import (recently initiated leaf), export (mature leaf) and an intermediate phase with both export and import (leaf half developed).There was large transport of foliar applied 32P, from mature leaves to roots, and some of this 32P was re-exported to the shoots, including the mature leaves. Root feeding of 32P over short periods strongly suggested that phosphorus uptake by the shoots occurred via the xylem, even at low phosphorus.In experiment 1, there were distinct treatment differences in relative growth rates, growth of young organs and roots, and in phosphorus concentrations of all but the very young leaves. Mature leaves showed a large net phosphorus export at low phosphorus, but a large net import at high phosphorus. This was not due to treatment differences in export, because total export from the mature leaves was even somewhat smaller at low than at high phosphorus. The treatment differences, with net export at low but net import at high phosphorus, were thus due to the higher import in the mature leaves at high phosphorus. Total export remained at a high level throughout the experiment at high phosphorus, while it declined with time at low phosphorus.For phosphorus absorbed during early growth, both the export from the mature leaves, and the intake by the developing leaves, was independent of phosphorus treatment; i.e. for each individual organ the quantities of phosphorus involved were the same in the two phosphorus treatments. Thus, the higher phosphorus contents of developing organs at high phosphorus were obtained from phosphorus supplied to the roots during later growth, and not from phosphorus supplied during early growth of the whole plant.The data are consistent with the notion that phosphorus export is controlled in the source. It is suggested that at high phosphorus this control is due to a saturation of the sites transporting phosphorus into the phloem. At low phosphorus, on the other hand, release from individual leaf cells might have been the dominating factor. 相似文献

The objectives of this study were to determine if the partitioning of recently fixed carbon between starch and water-soluble compounds could be altered by increasing the pod load in the leaf axil, and if the presence of source leaves acropetal to such a node would influence the partitioning of carbon within the subtending leaf. Soybeans ( Glycine max L. Merr. cv Hodgson 78) were grown to full-bloom in a controlled environment chamber, and then deflowered at all nodes except the eighth. This treatment resulted in an 83% increase in the number of pods at the eighth node. At 24 days after flowering, one-half of the treated plants were girdled above the untreated node. Forty-two hours later, the eighth trifoliolate was pulsed with 14CO 2 and sampled for radiolabeled starch and water-soluble compounds (WSC) at 0.5, 2, 4, 8, 12, and 24th after labeling. When no girdling was applied above the increased pod load at the eighth node more label was accumulated by the pod walls (+6.9%) and seeds (+6.3%) when compared to the controls. Starch accumulation was not altered in the labeled leaf of the nongirdled plants. When the stem was girdled above the eighth node, significantly less starch was retained in the labeled leaf. Girdling also resulted in an increase in label accumulation by the pod walls (+5.4%) and seeds (+6.6%). These data suggest that the plant will change the distribution patterns of assimilate to supply added sink demand before altering the partitioning of recently fixed carbon in the subtending leaf. 相似文献

Effects on leaf growth, biomass accumulation and root morphogenesis
associated with the establishment of phosphorus (P) deficiency were studied
on maize in order to test the hypothesis that the root system response can
be accounted for by the effect of P deficiency on the carbon budget of the
plant. P deprivation had a large and rapid negative effect on leaf
expansion. For 7 d after P deprivation, the total dry matter production per
plant was almost fully accounted for by the effect of P starvation on leaf
growth and its subsequent effect on photosynthetically active radiation
(PAR) interception. No strong effect of P deficiency was observed on the
radiation use efficiency during this first period, although it was reduced
thereafter. Root growth was slightly enhanced a few days after P
starvation, but strongly reduced thereafter. The elongation rate of axile
roots was maintained throughout the experiment, whereas emergence of new
axile roots and elongation of first-order laterals were drastically
reduced. The density of first-order laterals was not severely affected.
These morphological responses are very similar to what is observed when
root growth is limited by the availability in carbohydrates. The results
are therefore compatible with the hypothesis that P deficiency mainly
affects the root system morphology through its effect on the carbon budget
of the plant with no additional specific effect of P deficiency on root
morphogenesis. The drastic and early reduction of shoot growth after P
deprivation may explain that more carbohydrates were available for root
growth which was observed a few days after P starvation and reported by
several authors. Later on, however, because of the reduced leaf area of
P-deprived plants, their capacity to intercept light was severely reduced
so that root growth was finally reduced. Keywords:

箭筈豌豆(Vicia sativa)是高海拔地区重要的一年生豆科牧草,但荚果成熟时的开裂现象会造成种子的严重损失。该研究以栽培品种‘兰箭3号’为对象,对其荚果在发育过程中的形态特征、水分含量、腹缝线表面结构及腹缝线横截面解剖结构的动态变化进行观察分析,以探讨箭筈豌豆荚果的裂荚机理,为生产中确定种子收获的适宜时间提供理论依据。结果显示:(1)‘兰箭3号’约在盛花后25~30d荚果变为浅棕色,此时荚果已完成生理成熟,且荚果的大小和干重均达到最大值,含水量降到最小值;盛花后25d荚果腹缝线出现裂缝,盛花后35d腹缝线完全裂开。(2)‘兰箭3号’于盛花后20d腹缝线处离层细胞开始解体;盛花后25d,内、中、外果皮的薄壁细胞均开始失水皱缩,其中内果皮的薄壁细胞部分已开始破裂,离层细胞及其下面的薄壁细胞完全解体,外部果瓣缘细胞内侧细胞壁破裂,但外侧异常加厚的细胞壁仍然保持完整并连接两个果瓣,使荚果不开裂;盛花后30~35d,内、中、外果皮的薄壁细胞完全失水,细胞壁皱缩在一起,同时外部果瓣缘细胞外侧细胞壁断裂成两部分,荚果的两个果瓣裂开。研究表明,盛花后25~30d荚果失去绿色变为浅棕色时是‘兰箭3号’的适宜收获时间,且离层和细胞失水产生的机械拉力是导致箭筈豌豆荚果开裂的主要原因,推测外部果瓣缘细胞外侧增厚融合的细胞壁很可能是‘兰箭3号’抵抗裂荚的关键结构。 相似文献

Activities of the sucrose-cleaving enzymes, acid and neutral invertase and sucrose synthase, were measured in pods and seeds of developing snap bean ( Phaseolus vulgaris L.) fruits, and compared with 14C-import, elongation and dry weight accumulation. During the first 10 d post-anthesis, pods elongated rapidly with pod dry weight increase lagging behind by several days. The temporal patterns of acid invertase activity and import coincided closely during the first part of pod development, consonant with a central role for this enzyme in converting imported sucrose during pod elongation and early dry weight accumulation. Later, sucrose synthase became the predominant enzyme of dry weight accumulation and was possibly associated with the development of phloem in pod walls. Sucrose synthase activity in seeds showed two peaks, corresponding to two phases of rapid import and dry weight accumulation; hence, sucrose synthase was associated with seed sink growth. Acid invertase activities in seeds were low and did not show a noticeable relationship with import or growth. All neutral invertase activities, during pod and seed development, were too low for it to have a dominant role in sucrose cleavage. Changes in activities of certain sucrose-cleaving enzymes appear to be correlated with certain sink functions, including import, storage of reserves, and biosynthetic activities. The data supports the association of specific sucrose-cleaving enzymes with the specific processes that occur in the developing pods and seeds of snap bean fruits; for example, acid invertase with pod elongation and sucrose synthase with fruit dry matter accumulation. 相似文献

The relative significance of the use of stored or currently absorbed C for the growth of leaves or roots of Lolium perenne L. after defoliation was assessed by steady-state labelling of atmospheric CO 2. Leaf growth for the first two days after defoliation was to a large extent dependent on the use of C reserves. The basal part of the elongating leaves was mainly new tissue and 91% of the C in this part of the leaf was derived from reserves assimilated prior to defoliation. However, half of the sucrose in the growth zone was produced from photosynthesis by the emerged leaves. Fructans that were initially present in elongating leaf bases were hydrolysed (loss of 93 to 100%) and the resulting fructose was found in the new leaf bases, suggesting that this pool may be used to support cell division and elongation. Despite a negative C balance at the whole-plant level, fructans were synthesized from sucrose that was translocated to the new leaf bases. After a regrowth period of 28 d, 45% of the C fixed before defoliation was still present in the root and leaf tissue and only 1% was incorporated in entirely new tissue. 相似文献

Radioactive photosynthetic assimilates, translocated to a soybean ( Glycine max [L.] Merr. `Fiskeby V') pod can be measured directly by excising the stylar tip of the pod under 20 m m ethylenediaminetetraacetate solution (pH 7.0) and allowing the material to leak into the solution. Pods at the source node received approximately 50% of the 14C exported from the source leaf to the pod and leaked approximately 1 to 3% of this into the solution. More than 90% of the 14C that leaked from the pods was found in the neutral fraction and, of this, about 93% was in sucrose. Fifteen amino acids were identified in the leakage including: alanine, arginine, asparagine, γ-aminobutyric acid, glutamine, glycine, histidine, isoleucine, leucine, lysine, phenylalanine, serine, threonine, tyrosine, and valine. The majority of the 14C in the basic fraction was found in serine (30%) and asparagine (23%). The inorganic ions K, Ca, P, Mg, Zn, and Fe were found in the leakage component. Nitrate was not detectable in the collected leakage solution. The absence of NO 3− and the large proportion of the label in sucrose suggest a possible phloem origin for most of the material. The technique provides an uncomplicated, reproducible means of analyzing the material translocated into and through the soybean pod, as well as following the time course of label arrival at the pod. 相似文献
