Title: The function of the pentose phosphate pathway in Phaseolus mungo hypocotyls
Abstract: The metabolism of d-gluconate-[1-14C] and -[6-14C] by segments from etiolated hypocotyls of Phaseolus mungo has been studied. The release of 14CO2 from gluconate-[1-14C] was greater than that from gluconate-[6-14C] in all parts of hypocotyls examined. Incorporation of the radioactivity from gluconate-[6-14C] into RNA, lignin and aromatic amino acid fractions was greater in the upper (younger) part of the hypocotyls. Incorporation into sugars was greater in the lower (more mature) parts.
