Abstract
Chromatographic evidence indicated that glucose, fructose, and sucrose were present in wheat stems and leaves at stages of growth from early shot blade to maturity. A number of non-reducing oligosaccharides soluble in 80% ethanol were also present in both leaves and stems during this period. Simultaneously, at least one water-soluble oligosaccharide which is insoluble in 80% ethanol appeared in the stems. All oligosaccharides examined produced only glucose and fructose upon complete hydrolysis with invertase or acid.Keywords
