Sucrose phosphate is not transported into vacuoles or tonoplast vesicles from red beet (Beta vulgaris) hypocotyl.

Tonoplast vesicles and vacuoles isolated from red beet (Beta vulgaris L.) hypocotyl accumulated externally supplied [14C]sucrose but not [14C]sucrose phosphate despite the occurrence of sucrose phosphate phosphohydrolytic activity in the vacuole. The activities of sucrose synthase and sucrose phosphate synthase in whole cell extracts were 960 and 30 nanomoles per milligram protein per minute, respectively; whereas, no sucrose synthesizing activity was measured in tonoplast preparations. The results obtained in this investigation are incompatible with the involvement of sucrose phosphate synthase in the process of sucrose synthesis and accumulation in the storage cells of red beet.
