Abstract Parameters of carbon allocation dynamics in plants were measured using11CO2 and tracer kinetics techniques. Mechanical agitation reduced carbon export rate by 33% in cotton seedling's leaf, while storage rate and export pool size increased. Carbon storage and export rates of C4 bunch grasses were higher in the afternoon than in the morning inspite of the decrease in CER. Water stress of cotton seedlings caused reduction in carbon export rate, and increase in exportable products concentrations and rate of storage. By the third stress day, measurable decreases in CER, transpiration, export rate and export pool size were recorded.
