  1. Measurements of soluble sugars in cotton stems and roots. Measurements of sucrose (SUC), glucose and galactose (GLC/GAL), fructose (FRC), galactinol (GOL) and raffinose (RAF). The standard error of three replications is included in parentheses and nd, none detected. A replication is an isolation of soluble sugars from 50 mg of samples. Units are nmoles sugar/mg fresh weight of sample.
