The aim of this work was to find out how the sugars in the endosperm of oilseed rape contribute to the flux of oil synthesis. While the hexose content of the liquid endosperm decreased during development the sucrose content increased. It is important to understand the relative rates of use of the endosperm sugars for two reasons. Firstly we need to know which sugars are used, and at what stages...

Sucrose is known to repress the translation of Arabidopsis thaliana AtbZIP11 transcript which encodes a protein belonging to the group of S (S--stands for small) basic region-leucine zipper (bZIP)-type transcription factor. This repression is called sucrose-induced repression of translation (SIRT). It is mediated through the sucrose-controlled upstream open reading frame (SC-uORF) found in the ...

The green-fruited Lycopersicon hirsutum Humb. and Bonpi. accumulated sucrose to concentrations of about 118 micromoles per gram fresh weight during the final stages of development. In comparison, Lycopersicon esculentum Mill. cultivars contained less than 15 micromoles per gram fresh weight of sucrose at the ripe stage. Glucose and fructose levels remained relatively constant throughout develop...

Gerbera is one of the most popular cut flowers in the world. Several experiments have been done on the effect of different chemical compounds on longevity and quality of cut flowers. In the present study, two experiments based on a completely random design with two treatments and three replications were conducted on gerbera cut flower cv. Sorbet. The first experiment examined the effect of BA, ...

The present study was conducted to evaluate the physico-chemical properties of honey which were collected in Erbil city and surrounding area. total number samples gathered 12. moisture content, pH, ash, electrical conductivity (E.C), hydroxymethyl furfural (HMF), colour, minerals sugar contents. HPLC method used determine content profile (fructose, glucose sucrose) while assessed by ICP/mass sp...

We have previously reported that 60% sucrose diet-fed ChREBP knockout mice (KO) 13 showed body weight loss resulting in lethality. We aimed to elucidate whether sucrose and 14 fructose metabolism are impaired in KO. Wild type mice (WT) and KO were fed a diet containing 15 30% sucrose with/without 0.08% miglitol, an α-glucosidase inhibitor, and these effects on 16 phenotypes were tested. Further...

Sucrose is an important dietary factor in cariogenic biofilm formation and subsequent initiation of dental caries. This study investigated the functional relationships between sucrose concentration and Streptococcus mutans adherence and biofilm formation. Changes in morphological characteristics of the biofilms with increasing sucrose concentration were also evaluated. S. mutans biofilms were f...

Zarzecka K., Gugała M. (2018): The effect of herbicides and biostimulants on sugars content in potato tubers. Plant Soil Environ., 64: 82–87. The objective of the present work was to determine changes in total sugars, reducing sugars and sucrose content in potato tubers under conditions involving an application of biostimulants and herbicides. Research material included table potato tubers obta...

Excised bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) leaves were used to compare the changes in various carbohydrates during dark incubation in a wilted and turgid condition. After a rapid (less than 1 hour) wilt, leaves were incubated at a constant water content (75% of original fresh weight).The starch content of the wilted leaves decreased faster than it did in the turgid leaves. This accelerated starch loss w...
