Cassava (Manihot esculenta) is a deciduous woody perennial shrub that stores large
amounts of carbon and water in its storage roots. Previous studies have shown that …

Camellia oleifera is a widely planted woody oil crop with economic significance because it
does not occupy cultivated land. The sugar-derived acetyl-CoA is the basic building block in …

Background Sugar content is an important determinant of fruit sweetness, but details on the
complex molecular mechanism underlying fruit sugar accumulation remain scarce. Here, we …

Background Both underground rhizomes/buds and above-ground Moso bamboo
(Phyllostachys heterocycla) shoots/culms/branches are connected together into a close inter …

Phloem loading and sugar distribution are key steps for carbon partitioning in herbaceous
and woody species. Although the phloem loading mechanisms in herbs are well studied …

Abstract Key message In Pinus radiata, both primary and secondary compounds may play a

This study describes the seasonal changes in cell-to-cell transport in three selected
angiosperm tree species, Acer pseudoplatanus (maple), Fraxinus excelsior (ash), and …

Nonstructural carbohydrates (NSC) are essential for tree growth and adaptation, yet our
understanding of the seasonal storage and mobilization dynamics of whole-tree NSC is still …

Non-structural carbohydrate reserves of stems and roots underpin overall tree fitness and
productivity under short-rotation management practices such as coppicing for bioenergy …

Sucrose transporters (SUTs) play an important role in regulating carbohydrate homogeneity,
