Carbon captured through photosynthesis is transported, and sometimes stored in plants, as
sugar. All organic compounds in plants trace to carbon from sugars, so sugar metabolism is …

Acrylamide, a chemical that is probably carcinogenic in humans and has neurological and
reproductive effects, forms from free asparagine and reducing sugars during high …

We used metabolic tracers and modeling to analyze the response of soil metabolism to a
sudden change in temperature from 4 to 20° C. We hypothesized that intact soil microbial …

We review current knowledge of the most abundant sugars, sucrose, maltose, glucose and
fructose, in the world's major crop plants. The sucrose‐accumulating crops, sugar beet and …

Flux balance models of metabolism generally utilize synthesis of biomass as the main
determinant of intracellular fluxes. However, the biomass constraint alone is not sufficient to …

The presence of cytosolic and plastidic pathways of carbohydrate oxidation is a
characteristic feature of plant cell metabolism. Ideally, steady-state metabolic flux analysis …

Cold storage of tubers of potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) compromises tuber quality in many
cultivars by the accumulation of hexose sugars in a process called cold-induced …

In plants, nitric oxide synthase (NOS)-like or nitrate reductase (NR) produces nitric oxide
(NO), which is involved in releasing seed dormancy. However, its mechanism of effect in …

Plant respiration is one of the greatest global metabolic fluxes, but rates of respiration vary
massively both within different cell types as well as between different individuals and …

Starch accumulation and breakdown are vital processes in plant storage organs such as
seeds, roots, and tubers. In tubers of potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) a small fraction of …
