The mechanism of organic translocation in Cucurbita pepo L. variety melopepo torticollis was investigated. Two-centimeter petiole sections from nodes 2 and 3 of 22-day squash were analyzed colormetrically for the concentration of stachyose and sucrose. Stachyose is an important transport molecule and, in contrast to sucrose, may be localized in the phloem. This investigation attempted to determine the possibility of stachyose being further localized in a particulate cell fraction.
The volume of the phloem was determined to be 20 mm3 per petiole. The concentration of stachyose per petiole, assuming that all of the stachyose was in the phloem and …
