Other claims from this paper (18)
- Observation Net sucrose accumulation began after two to four days of cold storage.
- Observation Reducing sugars increased by day ten.
- Observation Sugar accumulation slowed from day twenty.
- Observation Sucrose fell later in cold storage.
- Observation Reducing sugars continued to increase later in cold storage.
- Intervention effect Absolute and relative sucrose synthesis rates decreased after one day at 4°C compared with 20°C.
- Observation Sucrose labeling increased threefold to over 60% of metabolized label after two to four days at 4°C.
- Observation The high sucrose synthesis rate persisted for up to 50 days in cold storage.
- Observation Hexose phosphates first increased and then fell over the next three days as sucrose synthesis increased.
- Association Hexose phosphate levels later rose until day twenty and fell alongside sucrose levels.
- Association UDPglucose remained unchanged for four days and then varied in parallel with sucrose.
- Observation Optimal-assay SPS activity and total SPS protein did not change.
- Observation Under phosphate and limiting substrate, SPS activity rose three to fivefold between days two and four.
- Observation Phosphorylases did not change.
- Observation A new amylolytic activity appeared between days two and four at 4°C.
- Association Changed SPS kinetics and reduced hexose phosphate coincided with six to eightfold stimulation of sucrose synthesis.
- Mechanism The final sugar level is partly determined by cycling between sugar synthesis and degradation.
- Mechanism The onset of cold-storage sugar accumulation was attributed to altered SPS kinetics and a new amylolytic activity.
