Structural 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...
متن کاملABA Uptake in Source and Sink Tissues of Sugar Beet.
The mode of abscisic acid (ABA) uptake was studied in excised leaf and root tissue discs of sugar beet (Beta vulgaris L.). Discs were incubated in buffered medium that contained 1 mm CaCl(2) and [(14)C]ABA. The sensitivity of ABA uptake to metabolic inhibitors and temperature indicated that the ABA transport system had an energy-dependent component. Energy-dependent uptake was greater in leaf t...
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 کاملChanges in photosynthetic rates and gene expression of leaves during a source-sink perturbation in sugarcane.
BACKGROUND AND AIMS In crops other than sugarcane there is good evidence that the size and activity of carbon sinks influence source activity via sugar-related regulation of the enzymes of photosynthesis, an effect that is partly mediated through coarse regulation of gene expression. METHODS In the current study, leaf shading treatments were used to perturb the source-sink balance in 12-month...
متن کاملSink–source Transition in Peach Leaves during Shoot Development
Net photosynthesis, dark respiration, chlorophyll and carbohydrate content, and leaf and shoot growth of deciduous peach [Prunus persica (L.) Batsch] saplings, grown in greenhouse conditions, were measured to assess changes in carbon balance during leaf development. The 6th, 12th, and 16th leaf node were measured from the first flush at the base through expansion to maturity (the first node bei...
