All plant cells are surrounded by a cell wall that determines the directionality of cell growth
and protects the cell against its environment. Plant cell walls are comprised primarily of …

During photosynthesis, plants fix CO2 from the atmosphere onto ribulose-bisphosphate,
producing 3-phosphoglycerate, which is reduced to triose phosphates (TPs). The TPs are …

Both sorbitol and sucrose are synthesized in source leaves and transported to fruit for
supporting fruit growth in tree fruit species of the Rosaceae family. In apple (Malus …

The influence of assimilate supply, metabolism and dilution on sugar concentrations in the
mesocarp of peach (Prunus persica (L.) Batsch) fruit during the main stage of fruit …

Sorbitol is a primary end-product of photosynthesis in apple (Malus domestica Borkh.) and
many other tree fruit species of the Rosaceae family. Sorbitol synthesis shares a common …

Triose phosphate utilisation (TPU) limits the maximum rate at which plants can
photosynthesise. However, TPU is almost never found to be limiting photosynthesis under …

Net photosynthetic assimilation in C3 plants is mostly viewed as a simple balance between
CO 2 fixation by Rubisco‐catalyzed carboxylation and CO 2 production by photorespiration …

Photosynthesis, metabolic carbon partitioning and the contribution of sorbitol to the osmotic
potential of mature peach (Prunus persica (L.) Batsch) leaves and phloem sap were …

The relative contributions of xylem, phloem, and transpiration to fruit growth and the daily
patterns of their flows have been determined in peach, during the two stages of rapid …

Along with sucrose, sorbitol represents the main photosynthetic product and form of
translocated carbon in peach. This study aimed at determining whether peach fruit …
