Osmotic Response of Sugar Beet Source Leaves at CO(2) Compensation Point.
As sugar beet source leaves lowered the CO(2) concentration to compensation point in a closed atmosphere, leaf thickness and relative water content decreased. Leaf water potential declined rapidly from -0.5 to -1.4 megapascals. At 340 microliters CO(2) per liter, water potential and sucrose, glucose, and fructose contents were steady in photosynthesizing source leaves. Within 90 minutes after l...
متن کاملEarly iron deficiency stress response in leaves of sugar beet.
Iron nutrient deficiency was investigated in leaves of hydroponically grown sugar beets (Beta vulgaris) to determine how ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (Rubisco) gene expression is affected when thylakoid components of photosynthesis are diminished. Rubisco polypeptide content was reduced by 60% in severely iron-stressed leaves, and the reduction was directly correlated to chlo...
متن کاملSugar transport in conducting elements of sugar beet leaves.
Autoradiography was used to determine the distribution of labeled sugar in conducting elements of the blade and petiole of sugar beet leaves at intervals ranging from 5 sec to 24 hr. The processes of assimilation by the green cells, collection of sugar in the minor veins and export in phloem elements were demonstrated visually. It appears that in minor veins sugar is translocated in companion c...
متن کاملEffects of decreased net carbon exchange on carbohydrate metabolism in sugar beet source leaves.
The relationship between CO(2) concentration and starch synthesis and degradation was studied by measuring leaf starch content and disappearance of (14)C-starch. At a concentration of 340 microliters CO(2) per liter, starch accumulated without degradation of previously synthesized starch. Degradation of starch began when CO(2) concentration was lowered, but its synthesis continued. At 120 micro...
متن کاملStructural and Physiological Changes in Sugar Beet Leaves during Sink to Source Conversion.
The onset of export during leaf development was correlated with changes in metabolism and ultrastructure and with patterns of solute distribution in the developing seventh leaf of sugar beet (Beta vulgaris L.) in order to study the cause of initiation of translocation. Infrared gas analysis of carbon dioxide uptake showed a broad peak for net photosynthesis dm(-2) at 35 to 40% final laminar len...
