35S in root fractions (A), relative root fresh weight of each fraction (B), and relative 35S distribution between root fractions (C). (A) 35S radioactivity in the six root fractions (see Fig. 1) 2, 3, and 5 h after feeding [35S]GSH to a mature leaf. (B) Contribution of the six different root fractions to total root fresh weight. Total root fresh weight of the individual poplar plants was set to 100% and the percentage of each fraction was calculated. (C) The contribution of 35S detected in each of the six root fractions to total root 35S radioactivity per root system of poplar plants fed with [35S]GSH to a mature leaf. Total 35S determined in the whole root system was set to 100%. The contribution of each root fraction was calculated. Data given are mean values from three poplar plants investigated per time point. Different indices indicate significant differences between root fractions at P <0.05.
