%X Various metabolic inhibitors, at pH 5· 5, affected sugar accumulation in immature sugar-cane storage tissues. The rate of accumulation was reduced by lO-5M mercuric ion, lO-<M p-chloromercuribenzoate, cyanide, and cupric ion, and 2 X lO-3M phloridzin. Accumulation was completely inhibited and sugar leakage induced by lO-5M dinitrophenol, lO-<M mercuric ion, and 10-3M p-chloromercuribenzoate, cyanide, cupric ion, azide, arsenate, and iodoacetate. The effects of 10-5M dinitrophenol and 10-4M cyanide were reversible, but that of 10-3M cyanide was irreversible. Only slight effects were produced by borate, phosphate, and magnesium ion.
