Other claims from this paper (10)
- Intervention effect Under early water stress, sucrose was transported from leaves to roots in cassava.
- Intervention effect In later stages of water stress, a reverse sucrose flow was detected in cassava.
- Association The decrease in cassava sucrose content was related to leaf senescence and inhibition of photosynthesis.
- Observation Microarray analysis identified seven sucrose synthase genes in cassava abscission zones under water stress.
- Observation Microarray analysis identified nine sucrose transporter genes in cassava abscission zones under water stress.
- Observation Microarray analysis identified eight invertase genes in cassava abscission zones under water stress.
- Intervention effect Two sucrose synthase genes were significantly upregulated under stress in cassava.
- Intervention effect Two invertase genes were significantly upregulated under stress in cassava.
- Association Sucrose synthase and invertase gene expression was negatively correlated with sucrose content under water stress.
- Association Sucrose transporter gene expression was positively correlated with sucrose content in cassava.
