Abstract
It was hypothesized that stachyose is translocated by squash because stachyose is supplied to the phloem loading system by the photosynthetic system. To test this hypothesis, 14CO2 was supplied to squash leaves. The nonphosphorylated sugars containing 14C were studied. A large proportion of 14C appeared in stachyose very early in the time sequence, tending to confirm the hypothesis.
