چکیده

Introduction Quantitative analysis shows that sucrose is the major organic constituent of phloem exudates in mlost plants (6, 8). When leaves are allowed to photosynthesize in C140, for short periodls nmost of the translocatedl radioactiv,ity is generally found in sucrose (6, 8). With respect to the nature of the transit compound in these plants there are 3 possible hypotheses whiclh are consistent with the above observations. Either A) sucrose is the transit conmpoundl, B) the substanice translocated is a derivative of sucrose which is synthesized wvithout breakdowni of the sucrose molecule, and wlhich is in rapidl eqluilibrium with sucrose in the phloemn suchl that only small quantities of the sucrose derivative are present, or C) a molecule derivable from sucrose only through breakdown is the transit molecule but, again the equilibrium relationship with sucrose being such that only a small quantity is present. The possibility that transit molecules in the phloem ma) be p)resent in small (quantities compared with nontransit molecules has been emphasized by Swanson (6) and others (3). The results reporte(l herein exclude the operation of hypothesis C) for translocatioIn in sugcar canle.

Effects of treatments potentially influencing the supply of assimilate on its partitioning in sugarcane.

Two pot experiments and one field experiment were conducted on sugarcane to assess the effects of treatments expected to change total carbon assimilation on the partitioning of assimilate. In the first experiment pots of cultivars CP and N14 were arranged to simulate normal field spacing. At 5 months, plants were partially defoliated or left intact. In the subsequent four months, defoliation re...

The absence of phloem loading in willow leaves.

Willow (Salix babylonica L.) is representative of a large group of plants that have extensive plasmodesmatal connections between minor vein phloem and adjoining cells. Because plasmodesmata provide a diffusion pathway for small molecules, it is unclear how sucrose could be loaded from the mesophyll into the phloem against a concentration gradient. In the studies reported here, the minor vein ph...

Effect of Methyl Jasmonate and Sucrose on Endogenous Non-structural Carbohydrates in Petals and Leaves of Cut ‘First Red’ Roses (Rosa hybrida L.)

Effects of exogenously applied methyl jasmonate (MeJA) and sucrose on vase life and non-structural carbohydrate concentration in petals and leaves of cut ‘First Red’ roses were investigated. Roses were placed in sealed plastic containers and received MeJA vapour treatment (0.1 μL MeJA L-1) for 24 h at 20°C. Flowers were then placed in individual bottles containing 0 or 2% (v/v) sucrose solution...

Transport of organic solutes in Phloem and xylem of a nodulated legume.

Collections of xylem exudate of root stumps or detached nodules, and of phloem bleeding sap from stems, petioles, and fruits were made from variously aged plants of Lupinus albus L. relying on nodules for their N supply. Sucrose was the major organic solute of phloem, asparagine, glutamine, serine, aspartic acid, valine, lysine, isoleucine, and leucine, the principal N solutes of both xylem and...

Transgenic Sugarcane with a cry1Ac Gene Exhibited Better Phenotypic Traits and Enhanced Resistance against Sugarcane Borer

We developed sugarcane plants with improved resistance to the sugarcane borer, Diatraea saccharalis (F). An expression vector pGcry1Ac0229, harboring the cry1Ac gene and the selectable marker gene, bar, was constructed. This construct was introduced into the sugarcane cultivar FN15 by particle bombardment. Transformed plantlets were identified after selection with Phosphinothricin (PPT) and Bas...
