text: Asparagine is the major transport compound in the xylem from the root to the leaves and in the phloem from the leaves to the developing seeds in a range of plants.
text: A more detailed analysis of the xylem amino acid fractions of six different plants ( do Amarante et al. , 2006 ) indicated that under most circumstances, asparagine was still the major form of N transport, although glutamine was also prominent in the nitrogen‐fixing, symbiotic, ureide‐forming plants ( Fig. 4 ).
text: Early work on apple ( Malus domesticus ) indicated that asparagine and arginine were the major transport compounds in the phloem, with the former used for short distance transport and the latter for long distance transport ( Tromp & Ovaa, 1971 ).
text: Asparagine was also the major component of the xylem (45–50%) and less so of the phloem (20–30%), where glutamine also made a significant contribution.
