J. G. Streeter; D. G. Lohnes; R. J. Fioritto Plant Cell & Environment 2001. doi:10.1046/j.1365-3040.2001.00690.x
Other claims from this paper (10)
- Observation Pinitol accumulation in leaf blades differed two- to three-fold among Chinese plant introductions.
- Observation Genotypes with high pinitol accumulation were selected for performance in dry regions of China.
- Association Pinitol accumulation was uniquely associated with adaptation to dry areas of China among the carbohydrates analysed.
- Association Concentrations of pinitol were consistently higher in the uppermost leaves.
- Observation Pinitol concentration showed two- to three-fold gradients from the bottom to the top of the plant.
- Association Pinitol accumulation was not correlated with activity of inositol methyl transferase.
- Mechanism Shifting patterns of pinitol accumulation are due to translocation of the cyclitol from lower to upper nodes.
- Intervention effect Pinitol, proline and sugars accumulated in leaf blades of drought-stressed soybean plants.
- Association Molar pinitol concentration in stressed plants was greater than the concentrations of proline or sugars.
- Association Results give additional correlative evidence linking pinitol and drought tolerance in soybean.
