چکیده

the aim of this study was to establish and optimise a simplified method of halved grain culture, in order to utilise it to evaluate the ability of isolated sinks (developing wheat grains) in sucrose uptake and conversion (defined by sink strength) under unlimited source conditions. both sucrose uptake and starch synthesis increased linearly over the incubation periods used in this study. a biphasic pattern of sucrose uptake in response to external sucrose concentrations was evident. starch synthesis also increased curvilinearly with respect to external sucrose concentration. 2,4-dinitrophenol (dnp)) inhibited both sucrose uptake and starch synthesis. an increase in ph from 6.5 to 8 reduced both sucrose uptake and, to a lesser extent, starch synthesis. from these observations, a metabolically active uptake of sucrose by endosperm cells concomitant with a diffusional influx of sucrose into the endosperm cells were both evident. the relative importance of both the active and diffusional movement of sucrose and the importance of transport across the plasma membrane is discussed in the text.

Effects of high temperature after anthesis on starch granules in grains of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)

The effect of high temperatures (above 25°C) on starch concentration and the morphology of starch granules in the grains of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) were studied. Wheat plants of cultivars Yangmai 9 (weak-gluten) and Yangmai 12 (medium-gluten) were treated with high temperatures for 3 days at different times after anthesis. The results showed that the starch concentration of grains given a ...

Activities of key enzymes in sucrose-to-starch conversion in wheat grains subjected to water deficit during grain filling.

This study tested the hypothesis that a controlled water deficit during grain filling of wheat (Triticum aestivum) could accelerate grain-filling rate through regulating the key enzymes involved in Suc-to-starch pathway in the grains. Two high lodging-resistant wheat cultivars were field grown. Well-watered and water-deficit (WD) treatments were imposed from 9 DPA until maturity. The WD promote...

Starch waxiness in hexaploid wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) by NIR reflectance spectroscopy.

Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) breeding programs are currently developing varieties that are free of amylose (waxy wheat), as well as genetically intermediate (partial waxy) types. Successful introduction of waxy wheat varieties into commerce is predicated on a rapid methodology at the commodity point of sale that can test for the waxy condition. Near-infrared (NIR) reflectance spectroscopy, one ...

Modelling potassium uptake by wheat

A model has been used to simulate potassium (K) uptake by wheat in a pot culture experiment. Three soils from India, namely Alfisol, Inceptisol and Vertisol, were differentially K exhausted by Sudan grass (Surghum vulgare var. Sudanensis) for a period of 280 days and were used to simulate potassium uptake by wheat (Triticum aestivum) and also to predict the amounts of K released or fixed during...

A Kinetic and Microautoradiographic Analysis of [14C]Sucrose Import by Developing Wheat Grains.

Assimilates enter developing wheat grains via a strand of phloem extending along the crease region of the grain. After phloem unloading, they move several hundred micrometers before being released into the endosperm cavity, from which they are absorbed by the developing endosperm. Extraphloem assimilate pools in the maternal tissue of the crease, therefore, play a central role in post-phloem tr...
