Abstract Young plants of Commelina communis L. were allowed to take up [U-14C]-3-O-methyl-D-glucose through the cut stem via the transpiration stream. The distribution of this tracer carbohydrate in the plant was analyzed and its ac­ cumulation investigated in the epidermal tissue by micro­ autoradiography. Over feeding periods from 1 to 24 h 3-O-methyl-D-glucose accumulated predominantly in the guard cells of the stomata, whereas the other epidermal cells contained only minor amounts. Thus, guard cells, despite of the lack of plasmodesmata and the photosynthetic carbon reduction cycle, can easily obtain the carbohydrates from photosynthetic tissues necessary to drive the turgor mechanism of opening and closing. Depending upon the part of the plant, 3-O-methyl-D-glucose was converted during a period of 4 h up to 30% to the corresponding 6-phosphate despite the alledged inert nature in metabo­ lism of this artificial carbohydrate.
