abstract = {According to the Munch hypothesis, a flow of solution
through the sieve tubes is driven by a hydrostatic pressure
difference between the source ( or collection) phloem and
the sink ( or release) phloem. A high hydrostatic pressure
is maintained in the collection phloem by the active uptake
of sugar and other solutes, with a concomitant inflow of
water. A lower pressure is maintained in the release phloem
through solute unloading. In this work we directly test the
role of solute uptake in creating the hydrostatic pressure
associated with phloem flow. Solute loading into the phloem
of mature leaves of barley and sow thistle was reduced by
replacing the air supply with nitrogen gas. Hydrostatic
pressure in adjacent sieve elements was measured with a
sieve-element pressure probe, a cell pressure probe glued to
the exuding stylet of aphids that had been feeding from the
phloem. Sieve element sap was sampled by aphid stylectomy;
sap osmotic pressure was determined by picolitre osmometry
and its sugar concentration by enzyme-linked fluorescence
assays. Samples were taken with a time resolution of similar
to 2 - 3 min. In accordance with Munch's proposal a drop in
osmotic and hydrostatic pressure in the source phloem
following treatment of the source leaf with N-2 was
observed. A decrease in sugar concentration was the major
contributor to the change in osmotic pressure. By observing
these variables at a time resolution of minutes we have
direct observation of the predictions of Munch.},
