Many approaches to engineer source strength have been proposed to enhance crop yield
potential. However, a well-co-ordinated source–sink relationship is required finally to realize …

Non-structural carbohydrates (NSC) in plant tissue are frequently quantified to make
inferences about plant responses to environmental conditions. Laboratories publishing …

An essential step for the distribution of carbon throughout the whole plant is the loading of
sugars into the phloem in source organs. In many plants, accumulation of sugars in the sieve …

Plant non-structural carbohydrates (NSCs), which largely comprise starch and soluble
sugars, are essential energy reserves to support plant growth and physiological functions …

Sugar synthesis from photosynthesis and its utilization through sugar metabolism jointly
determine leaf sugar content, and in contrast, excess sugar represses leaf photosynthesis …

Medal (note the leaf scroll at the top) received by W. Adams at the Missouri State Science
Fair. The backdrop of leaves includes those from (beginning in the upper left, moving …

Salinity is the primary environmental stress that adversely affects plants' growth and
productivity in many areas of the world. Published research validated the role of aspartic …

The feedback regulation of photosynthesis depends on the cooperation of multiple signals,
including sugars. Herein, the effect of shoot girdling was monitored on a daily basis for three …

Climate change and future warming will significantly affect crop yield. The capacity of crops
to dynamically adjust physiological processes (ie, acclimate) to warming might improve …

Tea-oil tree (Camellia oleifera Abel) is an important woody oil crop with high economic
value. However, it has low photosynthetic production considering the low light intensity of its …
