Diurnal Changes in Photosynthesis in Sugarcane Leaves: II. Enzyme activities and metabolite levels relating to sucrose and starch metabolism

Diurnal changes in carbohydrate contents, assimilate export, enzyme activities and metabolite levels associated with sucrose and starch synthesis in field-grown sugarcane (Saccharum sp. cv. NiF4) leaves were investigated during a natural 24 h day-night cycle. Eighty percent of the carbon fixed in su...
