The import-export transition in sugar beet leaves (Beta vulgaris) occurred at 40 to 50% leaf expansion and was characterized by loss in assimilate import and increase in photosynthesis. The metabolism and partitioning of assimilated and translocated C were determined during leaf development and related to the translocation status of the leaf. The import stage was characterized by C derived from either (14)C-translocate or (14)C-photosynthate being incorporated into protein and structural carbohydrates. Marked changes in the C partitioning were temporally correlated with the import-export conversion. Exporting leaves did not hydrolyze accumulated sucrose and the C derived from CO(2) fixation was preferentially incorporated into sucrose. Both source and sink leaves contained similar levels of acid invertase and sucrose synthetase activities (sucrose hydrolysis) while sucrose phosphate synthetase (sucrose synthesis) was detected only in exporting leaves. The results are discussed in terms of intracellular compartmentation of sucrose and sucrose-metabolizing enzymes in source and sink leaves.
