Other claims from this paper (7)
- Observation S. spontaneum had a higher net photosynthetic rate than S. officinarum.
- Observation S. spontaneum had lower sucrose content than S. officinarum.
- Intervention effect Exogenous sucrose increased sucrose content in the leaf base of both species.
- Intervention effect Exogenous sucrose inhibited photosynthetic efficiency in both species.
- Observation The species differed significantly in expression patterns and shared few DEGs after sucrose treatment.
- Observation Expression networks for sugar metabolism, sugar transport, PEPC and RBCS diverged between the species.
- Observation DEGs in the named metabolic pathways were uniquely enriched in S. spontaneum.
