Carbohydrate Reserves in Plants - Synthesis and RegulationA.K. Gupta, N. Kaur Carbohydrate reserves constitute the major part of edible portion of the plants. Latest researches in major crops like wheat, rice, maize, barley, potato, sugarcane, sugarbeet, Jerusalem artichoke, chicory and carbohydrates in trees have been included in this book. The book will be of great value to the basic plant biochemists, molecular biologists, biotechnologists, and genetic crop engineers and to the agricultural scientists working in different disciplines related to crop productivity. This compilation may act as a medium to initiate discussions among these scientists leading to new researches in the area of crop productivity and reserve carbohydrate metabolism. |

Page 3 - Triose-P may either be utilized in the synthesis of starch or sucrose or may re-enter the cycle to form more of primary acceptor, RuBP. In the second case, the cycle generates more CO, acceptor than it consumes.
