Other claims from this paper (10)
- Observation Guayule produces ethanol-soluble and water-soluble fructans.
- Observation Water-soluble fructans serve as a carbohydrate reserve.
- Association Water-soluble fructans depolymerize readily when carbon demand rises greatly.
- Observation Ethanol-soluble fructans are rapidly metabolized as an accessible carbohydrate source.
- Observation Ethanol-soluble fructans depolymerize extensively at budbreak and flowering.
- Mechanism The winter polymerization pattern indicates excess fructose availability.
- Observation Mature stems and roots appear to be primary fructan storage sites.
- Observation Root fructan stores appear least accessible.
- Observation Starch occurs primarily in leaves.
- Mechanism Starch is apparently involved in sucrose storage.
