Starch commands a central role in the carbon budget of the majority of plants on earth, and
its biological role changes during development and in response to the environment …

▪ Abstract Plant gene responses to changing carbohydrate status can vary markedly. Some
genes are induced, some are repressed, and others are minimally affected. As in …

Current concepts of the factors determining sink strength and the subsequent regulation of
carbohydrate metabolism in tomato fruit are based upon an understanding of the relative …

Fructose 1, 6-biphosphate aldolase (FBA) is a key enzyme in plants, which is involved not
only in glycolysis and gluconeogenesis in the cytoplasm, but also in the Calvin cycle in …

Most plants use the C3 pathway of photosynthesis, also called the photosynthetic carbon
reduction cycle (PCR), shown in Figure 1A. C3 plants have a single chloroplast type that …

Plant growth and development are tightly linked to primary metabolism and are subject to
natural variation. In order to obtain an insight into the genetic factors controlling biomass and …

Citrus is one of the world's most important fruit crops, contributing essential nutrients, such
as vitamin C and minerals, to the human diet. It is characterized by two important traits: first …

Dihydroflavonol reductase (DFR) is a key enzyme involved in anthocyanin biosynthesis and
proanthocyanidin synthesis in grape. DFR catalyses the reduction of dihydroflavonols to …

In many higher plants, seed oil accumulation is precisely controlled by intricate multilevel
regulatory networks, among which transcriptional regulation mainly influences oil …

We report on the export capability and structural and ultrastructural characteristics of leaves
of the sucrose export defective1 (sed1; formerly called sut1) maize mutant. Whole-leaf …
