The author and Van Slyke (5) have recently published a method for sugar determination in which the time required to decolorize a standard ferricyanide solution was used as a measure of the sugar content. The convenience which this method demonstrated in clinical work stimulated attempts to widen its range of usefulness by developing a micro modification. By carrying out the reaction in small te...

We describe the development and application of an expressed sequence tag (EST)-derived restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) marker for sugarcane elite genotypes which can be used for quantitative trait loci (QTL) tagging for sugar content. EST-derived RFLP markers for proteins involved in sucrose metabolism have been used in Southern analysis for mapping and gene tagging in elite sug...

Determination of the amount of sugar in sugar beet is usually accomplished by polarimetric method in sugar industry. This method is not accurate due to impurities such as sodium, potassium and amino-nitrogen that are present and might cause some errors in the evaluation of the technical quality of sugar beet. In this research, 7309 samples of sugar beet from two semi- arid county, Isfahan and C...
