Amino acid and hexose sugar accumulation in -fed and
-fed tobacco leaves. (A) Amino acid levels (µmoles g–1 FW) in tobacco leaves of wild-type plants fed
(black bars) or
(grey bars). Data were obtained from eight leaves of eight independent plants. The plants were not inoculated with Psph. (B, C) Total hexose (glucose, fructose, and sucrose levels; µmoles g–1 FW) in the cytoplasm (B) or apoplasm (C) of tobacco leaves of wild-type plants fed
(black bars) or
(grey bars). Data were obtained from eight leaves from eight different plants and are shown as means ±SD. The isolation of apoplastic solutions is described in Materials and methods. The plants were not inoculated with Psph. Results showing a significant (P < 0.05) increase over
-fed plants are indicated with ‘a’.
