We derive a compact expression for the Borel sum of a QCD amplitude in termsof the inverse Mellin transform of the corresponding Borel function. The resultallows us to investigate the momentum-plane analyticity properties of theBorel-summed Green functions in perturbative QCD. An interesting connectionbetween the asymptotic behaviour of the Borel transform and the Landausingularities in the momentum plane is established. We consider forillustration the polarization function of massless quarks and the resummationof one-loop renormalon chains in the large-$\beta_0$ limit, but our conclusionshave a more general validity.Comment: 22 pages, uses JHEP.cls (included), submitted to JHE
