This investigation seeks to elucidate the mechanism of                          carbohydrate allocation in source leaves of sugar beet                          subjected to water stress.  Specifically, the study will                        determine the effect of cellular turgor on sugar efflux                         across the mesophyll plasmalemma.  Under drought conditions,                    both osmotic adjustment and export compete for limited                          assimilate supply.  Based on previous work and assuming the                     apoplastic sucrose loading postulate, sucrose release from                      mesophyll cells appears to be a potential site of control for                   carbon allocation in leaves.  The role and nature of turgor                     effect on sugar transport across plasmalemma of isolated                        mesophyll cells will be investigated in vitro in relation to                    its effect on export and osmotic adjustment.%%%                                                                                                                 Plant response to water stress has serious economic                             consequences.  This project will provide the basis for new                      fundamental information needed to identify control points,                      limiting steps and possible interventions to mitigate drought                   conditions in plants.***//
