AIR was isolated from the second to the fourth leaves. RG-II was isolated by SEC from EPG digests of the AIR of pumpkin leaf grown in the presence (25 μm) or absence of boric acid and 10B-treated leaf. The neutral and acidic glycosyl residues were determined by gas-liquid chromatography analysis of alditol acetates and trimethyl silyl derivatives, respectively.
Pumpkin grown in the presence of B boric acid (25 μm).
Pumpkin grown in the absence of boric acid.
B-deficient pumpkins that were grown for 16 h in the presence of 10B-enriched boric acid (25 μm).
dRG-II-B and mRG-II were isolated from the EPG digest of the AIR by SEC.
The relative abundance of 11B and 10B in dRG-II-B were determined by SEC/ICP-MS analysis of the EPG digest of the AIR.
mRG-II contains no detectable amounts of B.
