tall wheatgrass (agropyronelongatum) is native to iran and is used in a wide area of rangelands and also used in drylandseeding program. this plant produces green and dry fodder and has a great importance in protecting drylands from water and wind erosion.seed proteome analysis was conducted under three conditions, namley, optimum (20 °c and zero water potential), drought conditions (20 °c and ...

The aim of this study was to investigate carbohydrate metabolism in rice seedlings subjected salt-alkaline stress. Two relatively tolerant (Changbai 9) and sensitive (Jinongda 138) cultivars, grown hydroponically, were stress via 50 mM solution. content the activities metabolism-related enzymes leaves roots investigated. results showed that contents sucrose, fructose, glucose increased under St...

effect of different co2 concentrations on sucrose metabolizing enzymes and on carbohydrate metabolism was studied for eight blackgram (vigna mungo l. hepper) genotypes grown in open top chambers under ambient (380 µmol mol-1) vs. elevated co2 (550 and 700 µmol mol-1) levels. the higher acid invertase activity over neutral invertase indicated the major role of acid invertase in sucrose breakdown...

Hydrogen gas (H2) is considered as a signaling molecule and plays multiple roles in plant growth. However, the effect of H2 on postharvest physiology lily scales during storage has not been reported. In this study, regulatory hydrogen-rich water (HRW, donor, concentration 0.45 mM for 100% HRW) status, ion balance, nutrients Lanzhou (Lilium davidii var. unicolor) were investigated. The soaked HR...

Sucrose synthase activity in rice is potentially yield limiting. This is because the carbon that forms starch enters the developing rice grain as sucrose and that sucrose must be broken down to form the precursors of starch. The enzyme that breaks down sucrose in the filling rice grain is sucrose synthase. Earlier research efforts on rice physiology indicated that endosperm sucrose-synthase act...

Contrasting evidence has accumulated regarding the role of acid invertase and sucrose synthase in tomato fruit sink establishment and maintenance. In this work the relationships among the activities of sucrose synthase and acid invertase, Lycopersicon esculentum Mill cv UC-82B fruit growth, and starch accumulation were analyzed in fruit at 0 to 39 d after anthesis. Sucrose synthase, but not aci...

Short term experiments were conducted with vegetative soybean plants (Glycine max L. Merr. ;Ransom' or ;Arksoy') to determine whether sourcesink manipulations, which rapidly changed the ;demand' for sucrose and partitioning of photosynthetically fixed carbon into starch, were associated with alterations in activities of sucrose-P synthase and/or cytoplasmic fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase in leaf e...
