Abstract: The stable carbon isotope 13C is used as a universal tracer in plant eco-physiology and studies of carbon exchange between vegetation and atmosphere. Photosynthesis fractionates against 13CO2 so that source sugars (photosynthates) are on average 13C depleted by 20%o compared with atmospheric CO2. The carbon isotope distribution within sugars has been shown to be heterogeneous, with relatively 13C-enriched and 13C-depleted C-atom positions. The 13C pattern within sugars is the cornerstone of 13C distribution in plants, because all metabolites inherit the 13C abundance in their specific precursor C-atom positions. However, the intramolecular isotope pattern in source leaf glucose and the isotope fractionation associated with key enzymes involved in sugar interconversions are currently unknown. To gain insight into these, we have analyzed the intramolecular isotope composition in source leaf transient starch, grain storage starch, and root storage sucrose and measured the site-specific isotope fractionation associated with the invertase (EC 3.2.1.26) and glucose isomerase (EC 5.3.1.5) reactions. When these data are integrated into a simple steady-state model of plant isotopic fluxes, the enzyme-dependent fractionations satisfactorily predict the observed intramolecular patterns. These results demonstrate that glucose and sucrose metabolism is the primary determinant of the 13C abundance in source and sink tissue and is, therefore, of fundamental importance to the interpretation of plant isotopic signals.
