| Reference | Gibon Y, Bläsing OE, Palacios-Rojas N, Pankovic D, Hendriks JH, Fisahn J, Höhne M, Günther M, Stitt M. Adjustment of diurnal starch turnover to short days: depletion of sugar during the night leads to a temporary inhibition of carbohydrate utilization, accumulation of sugars and post-translational activation of ADP-glucose pyrophosphorylase in the following light period. Plant J. 2004 Sep39(6):847-62. Supplementary table S3PubMed ID15341628 |
| Method | "Arabidopis thaliana ecotype Col0 and the pgm mutant in Col0 background were grown on soil as in Thimm et al. (2004). The length of the light period was varied, keeping the total diurnal cycle at 24 h." |
| Comments | "Inclusion of low concentrations of sucrose in the medium inhibits the accumulation of starch in short days but not in long days. Levels of starch at the beginning and end of the day in Arabidopsis Col0 plants grown in nutrient agar added with various concentrations of sucrose on horizontal plates. The results are the mean±SD (n=5 separate samples, each of four individual plants)" |
