The fate of exogenously applied, labeled abscisic acid (+/-)-(ABA) was followed in source leaves and taproot sink tissues of sugar beet (Beta vulgaris cv AH-11). The objective was to determine if differential pathways for ABA metabolism exist in source and sink tissues. Tissue discs were incubated for up to 13 hours in a medium containing 1 micromolar labeled ABA. At various time intervals, samples were taken for metabolite determination by reverse-phase high performance liquid chromatography. The labeled metabolites were identified by retention times using an online scintillation counter.Dihydrophaseic acid (DPA) aldopyranoside, DPA, phaseic acid (PA), ABA glucose ester (ABA-GE), and two unidentified compounds were recovered from both tissues. An additional unidentified metabolite was also present in root tissue. Leaf tissue discs exhibited a higher capacity for ABA conjugation, and root discs showed a greater preference for ABA catabolism to PA and DPA. After 4 to 5 hours, ABA incorporation into the various metabolites was proportional to the external ABA concentration in both tissues. But the internal ABA pool size was independent of external concentrations below 10(-6) molar. These results suggested that rates of ABA metabolism was proportional to the rates of uptake in both tissues.
