An update on source-to-sink carbon partitioning in tomato
Plant growth and carbon metabolism are closely associated since carbohydrate in the form of sucrose generated by photosynthesis, provides the primary source of building blocks and energy for the production and maintenance of biomass. Regulation of carbon partitioning between source and sink tissues is important because it has a vast influence on both plant growth and development. The regulation...
متن کاملPhotosynthesis and Carbon Partitioning / Source-sink Relationships
Photosynthesis is one of the principle biochemical processes underpinning plant growth and development. Because of its basic nature, it is intimately involved with reproductive growth and determining crop yields. Photosynthesis of a crop canopy can be broken down into three components: 1) leaf area development, 2) photosynthetic rate per leaf area, and 3) partitioning assimilates between vegeta...
متن کاملSource and sink leaf metabolism in relation to Phloem translocation: carbon partitioning and enzymology.
The import-export transition in sugar beet leaves (Beta vulgaris) occurred at 40 to 50% leaf expansion and was characterized by loss in assimilate import and increase in photosynthesis. The metabolism and partitioning of assimilated and translocated C were determined during leaf development and related to the translocation status of the leaf. The import stage was characterized by C derived from...
متن کاملSource-sink partitioning. Do we need Münch?
The simulation of phloem translocation by the Münch theory commonly uses resistances from sources to sinks: the resistances are therefore regarded as important in partitioning. Although resistance is generally a set constant, it is in fact strongly affected by viscosity, and thus the concentration of the transported solute. In this paper, the model of partitioning proposed by Minchin et al. was...
متن کاملRole of metabolite transporters in source-sink carbon allocation
Plants assimilate carbon dioxide during photosynthesis in chloroplasts. Assimilated carbon is subsequently allocated throughout the plant. Generally, two types of organs can be distinguished, mature green source leaves as net photoassimilate exporters, and net importers, the sinks, e.g., roots, flowers, small leaves, and storage organs like tubers. Within these organs, different tissue types de...
