Abstract

Application ofglyphosate (N-Iphosphonomethyll glycine) toexporting leaves ofsugar beet (Beta vulgaris, L.)during thedaylowered stomatal conductance andcarbon fixation. Allocation ofnewlyfixed carbon to foliar starch accumulation wasnearly completely inhibited, being decreased bythesameamount asnetcarbon fixation. Incontrast, decreasing netcarbon fixation inuntreated leaves bylowering CO2concentration caused starch accumulation todecrease, butonlyinthesameproportion asnetcarbon fixation. Shikimate level increased 50-fold intreated leaves buttheelevated rate ofcarbon accumulation inshikimate wasonly4% ofthedecrease intherate ofstarch accumulation. Application ofsteady state labeling with14C02 toexporting leaves confirmed theabove changes incarbon metabolism, butrevealed noother major daytime differences inthe14C-content ofaminoacids orother compounds between treated andcontrol leaves. Less14Caccumulated intreated leaves because of decreased fixation, notincreased export. Theproportion ofnewly fixed carbon allocated tosucrose increased, maintaining export atthelevel in control leaves. Returning netcarbon exchange totherate before treatment restored starch accumulation fully andprevented adecrease inexport during thesubsequent darkperiod.
