p-Chloromercuribenzenesulfonic acid markedly inhibited sucrose accumulation into sugar beet source leaves without inhibiting hexose accumulation. The site of inhibition is proposed to be the ...

Sucrose is produced in, and translocated from, photosynthetically active leaves (sources) to support non-photosynthetic tissues (sinks), such as developing seeds, fruits, and tubers. Different plants ...

Plant researchers have investigated the transport of compounds in maize. They focused on the mechanism used to transport the products of photosynthesis for further distribution in the plant through ...
