|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Methanolic Extract | Exudate | Methanolic Extract | Exudate | |||
| ng/g | ng/shoot | ng/g | ng/shoot | |||
| 1 | 55 | 4.7 | 4.2 | 28 | 2.4 | 1.7 |
| 2 | 66 | 5.3 | 3.4 | 26 | 2.1 | 1.1 |
The shoots were taken at the time of anthesis of the first flower. In each experiment the phloem exudate was collected from apical shoots (nine in Experiment 1; seven in Experiment 2) incubated for 24 h at 22°C in the dark.
