Other claims from this paper (13)
- Intervention effect Reduced cFBPase expression inhibited sucrose synthesis.
- Intervention effect Reduced cFBPase expression caused phosphorylated intermediates to accumulate.
- Intervention effect Reduced cFBPase expression led to Pi limitation of photosynthesis.
- Intervention effect Reduced cFBPase expression stimulated starch synthesis.
- Mechanism Starch degradation maintained higher nighttime sugar levels and sucrose export.
- Observation Phosphorylated intermediates did not accumulate with reduced SPS expression.
- Observation Carbon partitioning was not redirected toward starch with reduced SPS expression.
- Intervention effect Sugar levels and sucrose export decreased during day and night with reduced SPS expression.
- Observation Ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate regeneration and photosynthesis were inhibited.
- Mechanism PGA/triose-P ratio remained low and ATP/ADP ratio high, indicating photosynthesis was not Pi recycling limited.
- Observation PPi decreased threefold in SPS antisense lines.
- Mechanism A shifted UDP-glucose/hexose phosphate ratio favoured sucrose synthesis and prevented intermediate accumulation.
- Observation AGPase activity did not increase relative to cFBPase activity.
