Enzymes Involved in the Postharvest Degradation of Sucrose in Beta vulgaris L. Root Tissue.
نویسنده
چکیده
The reducing sugar content of sugar beet (Beta vulgaris L.) roots increased during 30 days of storage at 21 C and 160 days at 5 C as a result of an increase in acid invertase activity. Sucrose synthetase and neutral invertase activities were high at harvest but declined during storage, thus showing no relationship with postharvest reducing sugar accumulation in sugar beet roots. Acid alpha-glucosidase activity was detected in fresh roots but showed no activity with sucrose as a substrate.

Glycolysis Is Dynamic and Relates Closely to Respiration Rate in Stored Sugarbeet Roots
Although respiration is the principal cause of the loss of sucrose in postharvest sugarbeet (Beta vulgaris L.), the internal mechanisms that control root respiration rate are unknown. Available evidence, however, indicates that respiration rate is likely to be controlled by the availability of respiratory substrates, and glycolysis has a central role in generating these substrates. To determine...
متن کاملShort- and long-term changes in sugarbeet (Beta vulgaris L.) gene expression due to postharvest jasmonic acid treatment - Data
Jasmonic acid is a natural plant hormone that induces native defense responses in plants. Sugarbeet (Beta vulgaris L.) root unigenes that were differentially expressed 2 and 60 days after a postharvest jasmonic acid treatment are presented. Data include changes in unigene expression relative to water-treated controls, unigene annotations against nonredundant (Nr), Swiss-Prot, Clusters of Orthol...
متن کاملNucleoside Diphosphate Levels in Taproots and Fibrous Roots of Beta vulgaris L. : Implifications for Control of Sucrose Allocation between Two Sinks.
Sucrose synthase (EC 2.4.1.13) of sugarbeet (Beta vulgaris L.) fibrous roots has a distinctly different order of preference for nucleoside diphosphate substrates than that of the taproot enzyme (Silvius, Snyder 1979 Plant Physiol 64: 1070-1073). Separation and quantitation of UDP, ADP, and GDP in root extracts by high-pressure liquid chromatography revealed that UDP levels in taproot tissue wer...
متن کاملPhotosynthesis, Carbohydrate Metabolism, and Export in Beta vulgaris L. and Phaseolus vulgaris L. during Square and Sinusoidal Light Regimes.
Rates of photosynthesis, sucrose synthesis, starch accumulation and degradation were measured in sugar beet (Beta vulgaris L.) and bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) plants under a square-wave light regime and under a sinusoidal regime that simulated the natural daylight period. Photosynthesis rate increased in a measured manner in direct proportion to the increasing light level. In contrast to this ...

For maximum sucrose production by sugarbeets (Beta vulgaris L.) in southern Idaho, the available soil nitrogen (N) level should be highest during early July, when the plant N uptake (N u p) rate is highest, and lowest by the latter part of August ( 1, 12r. Inadequate N during the early growth stages limits root and sucrose yield, whereas excess N stimulates top growth, increases root impurities...
