ABSTRACT

The functions of individual sucrolytic enzymes in sugarbeet (Beta vulgaris) roots are poorly understood, although a positive association between sucrose synthase activity and root size, and a negative association between soluble acid invertase activity and sucrose concentration have been documented. To test the veracity of these relationships and determine whether any sucrolytic activities were associated with root yield or sucrose accumulation, sucrolytic enzyme activities, fresh and dry mass, and the content of sucrose, glucose, fructose and cell wall materials were measured in ...
