Abstract
Lyophilized spruce needles (Picea abies; location: Kalbelescheuer, southern Black Forest, 900 m a. sea level) were analyzed for their contents of adenine nucleotides (ATP, ADP: AdN), reduced (NADH, NADPH) and oxidized (NAD, NADP) pyridine nucleotides, and of carbohydrates (starch, sucrose, fructose, glucose). The metabolite levels were related to needle age, vegetation period, and the degree of damage (classified as 0 (control) and 2). Samples were taken of all distinct parts of a twig and analyzed individually. This was necessary as the levels of metabolites largely depended on the respective position of the needles.
