Storage of Sugars in Higher Plants

  • Chapter
Plant Carbohydrates I

Part of the book series: Encyclopedia of Plant Physiology ((921,volume 13 / A))

Abstract

Transport of carbohydrates in higher plants still presents a field of research which offers numerous but scattered data whose relevance to our knowledge of mechanisms involved in sugar transport, loading and unloading steps is rather modest, at least compared with those evaluated for animal cells or for ion transport in plants (see Vol. 2 A and B, this Series). In order to gain a detailed picture of the most obvious phenomena of accumulation of hexoses and sucrose in storage organs like sugarcane stalks, beets, and fruits, work has to be strengthened in specific areas: these include ultrastructural studies with special reference to intercellular connections between conducting and storing cells, in vivo experiments on the capacity of compartments likely to be involved, and in vitro compartmentation studies in order to clarify sugar transport across both plasmalemma and tonoplast and its interaction with ion transfer and energization. The reader should be aware that lack of knowledge of only one of these aspects makes it difficult to evaluate such problems as for example the effects of phytohormones on the biochemistry of storage of sugars.
