Carbohydrate partitioning is the process of carbon assimilation and distribution from source
tissues, such as leaves, to sink tissues, such as stems, roots and seeds. Sucrose, the …

In the short term, the production of bioethanol as a liquid transport fuel is almost entirely
dependent on starch and sugars from existing food crops. The sustainability of this industry …

Sugarcane is one of the most important cash crops capable of accumulating up to 25%
sucrose (w/w) on fresh weight basis. Studies in sugarcane have shown that significant …

The accumulation of high concentrations of sucrose in the stem of sugarcane has been the
subject of many studies. Although models have been constructed from the available …

Biochemically, it is not completely understood why or how commercial varieties of
sugarcane (Saccharum officinarum) are able to accumulate sucrose in high concentrations …

Hemicelluloses are effective renewable biopolymers that can be used in many different
industrial processes and preparations. In plants, the content of hemicellulose might change …

Background Sugarcane is a major crop producing about 80% of sugar globally. Increasing
sugar content is a top priority for sugarcane breeding programs worldwide, however, the …

Jujube (Ziziphus jujuba) was domesticated from wild jujube (Z. jujuba var. spinosa). Here,
integrative physiological, metabolomic, and comparative proteomic analyses were …

The lignin deposition in the stem of two sugarcane genotypes was assessed on exposure to
water stress. The lignin content and the morphoanatomical characterization of the stem …

True ripening of sugarcane increases not only sucrose concentration but also sucrose mass
within the sugarcane culm. The roles of nitrogen, crop age, temperature, and water stress …
