Insights into sugar metabolism during bilberry ( Vaccinium myrtillus L.) fruit development
Physiologia Plantarum : An International Journal for Plant Biology, 2022 Bilberry fruit is regarded as one of the best natural sources of anthocyanins and is widely explored for its health‐beneficial compounds. Besides anthocyanins, one of the major attributes that determine the berry quality is the accumulation of sugars ...

Changes and response mechanism of sugar and organic acids in fruits under water deficit stress [PDF]
PeerJ, 2022 The content and the ratio of soluble sugars and organic acids in fruits are significant indicators for fruit quality. They are affected by multiple environmental factors, in which water-deficient is the most concern.

Enzymes and Metabolites in Carbohydrate Metabolism of Desiccation Tolerant Plants
Proteomes, 2016 Resurrection plants can tolerate extreme water loss. Substantial sugar accumulation is a phenomenon in resurrection plants during dehydration. Sugars have been identified as one important factor contributing to desiccation tolerance.

Effects of nicosulfuron on plant growth and sugar metabolism in sweet maize (Zea mays L.)
PLoS ONE, 2022 The sulfonylurea herbicide nicosulfuron is efficient, harmless and selective at low doses and has been widely used in maize cultivation. In this study, a pair of corn sister lines, HK301 (nicosulfuron-tolerence, NT) and HK320 (nicosulfuron-sensitive, NS),

Sugar-induced obesity and insulin resistance are uncoupled from shortened survival in Drosophila [PDF]
, 2020 High-sugar diets cause thirst, obesity, and metabolic dysregulation, leading to diseases including type 2 diabetes and shortened lifespan. However, the impact of obesity and water imbalance on health and survival is complex and difficult to disentangle ...
