Sucrose is produced in, and translocated from, photosynthetically active leaves (sources) to support non-photosynthetic tissues (sinks), such as developing seeds, fruits, and tubers. Different plants ...

A pivotal study reveals how auxin and sucrose metabolism regulate bulbil initiation in Lilium lancifolium. By manipulating auxin levels and examining key sucrose metabolism genes, researchers found ...

The sucrose synthase (SUS) gene family comprises a group of enzymes that are central to the regulation of sucrose metabolism, a fundamental process in plants. These enzymes play critical roles in ...

Carbohydrate metabolism plays a critical role in the growth and reproductive strategies of Lilium species. Central to this process is the conversion of sucrose into starch, mediated by enzymes such as ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract Sucrose is formed in the cytoplasm of leaf cells from triose phosphates exported from the chloroplast. Flux control is shared among key ...

The team investigated SlVI, a vacuolar invertase gene expressed during tomato fruit ripening. Overexpression of SlVI enhanced leaf size, chlorophyll content, and early flowering, linking sugar ...

Tomato fruit development relies on complex sugar metabolism, including the conversion of stored starch into sucrose, glucose, and fructose. These sugars influence not only plant physiology but also ...

A new study led by scientists from the University of Zurich has found moderate consumption of fructose and sucrose can dramatically amplify fat production in the liver. The research also suggests ...

Consuming sucrose, the more “natural form of sugar,” may be as bad for your health as consuming high fructose corn syrup, according to a UC Davis, study published in the Journal of Clinical ...
