Fifteen cultivars of orchardgrass (Dactylis glomerata L.) were grown in the field at Hiroshima
University, Japan, to investigate seasonal changes in leaf water relations and cell …

Growth, gas exchange rates, and carbohydrate content were studied for developing fruits of
the cultivated cactus Opuntia ficus‐indica (L.) Miller, including effects of drought and …

Carbohydrates are used in plant growth processes, osmotic regulation and secondary
metabolism. A study of the allocation of carbohydrates to a target set of metabolites during …

Photosynthetic principal end products (starch, sucrose, and reducing sugars) were
determined in leaves of “Valencia” orange (Citrus sinensis (L.) Osbeck) after trees were …

Acid metabolism and gas exchange studies were conducted in situ on the cactus Opuntia
basilaris Engelm. and Bigel. A pattern of significant seasonal variation was evident. The …

Physiological responses of the Crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) plant Opuntia ficus-
indica (Cactaceae) were studied on a commercial plantation in central Chile. Young …

CAM requires a substantial investment of resources into storage carbohydrates to account
for nocturnal CO2 uptake, thereby restricting carbohydrate partitioning to other metabolic …

Expanded shoots of asparagus (Asparagus officinalis) were found to contain sucrose,
glucose, andfructose, while neither starch nor fructans could be detected. On the other hand …

Abstract Both Carpobrotus edulis and Senecio? mandraliscae possess leaves with a
peripheral chlorenchyma and colourless internal water-storage tissue. Water stress in C …

Recent research concerning Opuntia ficus-indica from our laboratory is reviewed. A root-soil
air gap that develops as the roots of O. ficus-indica shrink in response to drying conditions …
