Other claims from this paper (9)
- Observation Carbon labeling was consistent with the normal C3 photosynthetic pathway.
- Observation Fructose 6-phosphate labeled faster than glucose 6-phosphate.
- Observation Fructose labeled faster than glucose.
- Observation Sorbitol was the major photosynthetic end product.
- Observation Sorbitol held over half the radioactivity after 30 minutes.
- Mechanism Sorbitol may be synthesized through fructose or fructose 6-phosphate rather than glucose routes.
- Observation Sorbitol phosphate represented 2% of total hexose monophosphate.
- Observation Sorbitol phosphate labeled as fast as the hexose monophosphates.
- Mechanism The proposed sorbitol pathway proceeds from fructose 6-phosphate through sorbitol phosphate to sorbitol.
