Sugars and starch in developing round and wrinkled pea seeds

Sugars and starch in developing round and wrinkled pea seeds. Stickland, R. G.; Wilson, K. E. (John Innes Inst., Norwich NR4 7UH, UK). Ann. Bot. (London), 52(6), 919-21 (English) 1983. 57-50-1 and 512-69-6 which are cas registry numbers are also used here. CODEN: ANBOA4. ISSN: 0305-7364. DOCUMENT TYPE: Journal CA Section: 11 (Plant Biochemistry) Sol. sugars and starch were estd. during the first 40 days of development of round and wrinkled pea seeds. At all times, the wrinkled seeds contained more sol. sugars and less starch than the found seeds. The significance of these results, in relation to the expression of the round (RaRa) and wrinkled (rara) genotypes, is discussed. .

Possibilities for developing monogerm beets with mangold type of sucrose distribution in the root

Possibilities for developing monogerm beets with mangold type of sucrose distribution in the root. Zakhariev, A.; Kikindonov, T.; Mikhailov, V.; Khristova, L. (Sugar Beet Inst., Shumen, Bulg.). Genet. Sel., 16(4), 282-7 (Bulgarian) 1983. CODEN: GESKAC. DOCUMENT TYPE: Journal CA Section: 11 (Plant Biochemistry) After a single crossing of mangold (Beta cicla MM) beet with monogerm forms (Yaltushkorskoe odnosemyannoe cultivar) , fully monogerm forms with mangold type of sucrose distribution along the root were attained. 57-50-1 is also in the experiment. The selection for monogerms was most effective when it was carried out simultaneously on homo- and heterozygote biotypes with regard to the dominant multigerm gene (MM and Mm). The no. of monogerm forms increased gradually from 1st to 7th progeny of the hybrid. In the monogerms selected, the sugar content of parenchyma cells was 0.8 points higher than in cells of the vascular bundles. .
