Effects of sucrose depletion on pollen tube growth
Pollen tubes are rapidly growing, photosynthetically inactive cells that need high rates of energy to support growth. Energy can derive from internal and external storage sources. The lack of carbon sources can cause...

Simulating carbon and nitrogen patterns using an integrated model of wheat functioning
Based on a mechanistic approach, the CN-Wheat model simulates the fluxes of carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) metabolites in wheat plants after anthesis. Barillot et al. show that the CN-Wheat model can be used to predict...
A process-based model of C and N metabolism in the wheat culm
Linking traits and metabolic processes to whole plant performance results in improved crops. Barillot et al., present CN-Wheat, a comprehensive and mechanistic model of carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) metabolism within...
Drought strategies in perennial forage species
Cell membrane stability, which ensures dehydration tolerance of roots and meristems, is positively and negatively correlated to fructan and sucrose contents, respectively.
Ever heard of the Münch pressure flow hypothesis? You have now.
In order to develop, flowers require sugars delivered by the phloem.
