Carbohydrate contents of mature, flowering Arabidopsis grown in the presence of Val. Plants were grown under sterile conditions with (black bars) or without (white bars) 10 μm Val. After 8 weeks, flowers, leaves, stems, and roots were harvested, and contents of non-structural carbohydrates were analyzed by capillary GC (Suc and Tre) or enzymatically (starch). A, Starch; B, Suc; C, Tre (tentatively identified, as described in “Results”). Mean values ± se are given for four independent samples. nd, Not detected.
