A procedure has been developed for preparation of plant extracts for quantitation of their glycerol content using high performance liquid chromatography or enzymatic analysis. Fifteen crop plants grown under field conditions had leaf concentrations of glycerol between 10 and 30 .mu.g/ wt weight of tissue. Approximately 12 h after relatively heavy rains leaves of maize, sugar beet, soybean, bean, pumpkin and alfalfa had several fold increases in concentrations of leaf glycerol. When barley plants were made anaerobic for 24 h, large increases in leaf glycerol concentrations were observed. It is proposed that part of the glycerol observed in anaerobic plants comes from glycerol synthesis in the root and transport to the leaves andpart is produced in the leaves.
