Variation in phytate accumulation in common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) fruit explants
Brazilian Archives of Biology and Technology, 2008 The in vitro synthesis of phytate was studied in common bean fruit explants. Different concentrations of sucrose; phosphorus (P); myo-inositol; abscisic acid (ABA); glutamine and methionine, were tested.

Impaired phloem loading in zmsweet13a,b,c sucrose transporter triple knock-out mutants in Zea mays.
New Phytologist, 2018 Crop yield depends on efficient allocation of sucrose from leaves to seeds. In Arabidopsis, phloem loading is mediated by a combination of SWEET sucrose effluxers and subsequent uptake by SUT1/SUC2 sucrose/H+ symporters.

Salt intake and regulation in two passerine nectar drinkers: white-bellied sunbirds and New Holland honeyeaters [PDF]
, 2012 Avian nectarivores face the dilemma of having to conserve salts while consuming large volumes of a dilute, electrolyte-deficient diet. This study evaluates the responses to salt solutions and the regulation of salt intake in white-bellied sunbirds ...

Carbon source–sink relationship in Arabidopsis thaliana: the role of sucrose transporters
Planta, 2017 The regulation of source-to-sink sucrose transport is associated withAtSUC andAtSWEET sucrose transporters’ gene expression changes in plants grown hydroponically under different physiological conditions. Source-to-sink transport of sucrose is one of the

Using holographic microscopy to measure the effect of confinement on crowding agents in lipid vesicles [PDF]
, 2023 The hydrodynamic effects of macromolecular crowding inside cells is often studied in vitro by using polymers as crowding reagents. Confinement of polymers inside cell-sized droplets has been shown to affect the diffusion of small molecules. Here we develop a method, based on digital holographic microscopy, to measure the diffusion of polystyrene ...

Pollen elicits proboscis extension but does not reinforce PER learning in honeybees [PDF]
, 2013 The function of pollen as a reward for foraging bees is little understood, though there is evidence to suggest that it can reinforce associations with visual and olfactory floral cues.

Some nutritional properties of unrefined sugar and its promotion of the survival of new-born rats. [PDF]
, 2005 1. The claims that rats fed on diets with ‘brown sugar’ (unrefined muscovado) perform better in a number of ways than do rats fed on refined white sugar (sucrose) have been examined. 2.

Mycorrhizas alter sucrose and proline metabolism in trifoliate orange exposed to drought stress
Scientific Reports, 2017 Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) can enhance drought tolerance in plants, whereas little is known regarding AMF contribution to sucrose and proline metabolisms under drought stress (DS). In this study, Funneliformis mosseae and Paraglomus occultum were
