Developing soybean cotyledons were incubated with glucose-^<14>C, pyruvate-^<14>C, and acetate-^<14>C. Glucose was metabolized by both the Embden-Meyerhof-Parnas pathway and the pentose phosphate pathway. Developing soybean cotyledons also have the capacity to synthesize sucrose since ^<14>C was found in fructose and sucrose from glucose incubations. Complete analysis showed that the carbons from glucose were directed into CO_2, lipid, and solids. Pyruvate was metabolized to a C-2 unit which is presumably acetyl CoA. After conversion to the C-2 unit, the carbons of pyruvate were metabolized in the same manner as acetate. Both pyruvate and acetate carbons were directed predominately into lipids.
