RESUMO
The phloem exudation technique using ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) was evaluated in studies of amino acid translocation in Pisum sativum L. seedlings. Exudation of phloem sap from cut petioles of fully expanded leaves was enhanced by EDTA (20 millimolar disodium salt [pH 7.0]). Amino acids (mainly asparagine, homoserine, glutamate, and also aspartate and serine) were present in petiole exudates from EDTA-treated leaves at levels which were commonly 5- to 10-fold (or more) higher compared with water-treated controls. Exudation was greater from darkened leaves, and the pattern of amino acids was markedly different from the more uniform mixture leaking from water-treated controls.
