Symplasmic phloem loading and sub-cellular transport in storage roots are key factors for carbon allocation in cassava

D. Rüscher, V. V. Vasina, J. Knoblauch, L. Bellin, B. Pommerrenig, S. Alseekh, A. R. Fernie, H. E. Neuhaus, M. Knoblauch, U. Sonnewald, W. Zierer

This study investigates carbon allocation in cassava by analyzing phloem loading and sub-cellular transport in storage roots, finding a predominantly passive symplasmic mechanism.

Carbon usage in yellow-fleshed Manihot esculenta storage roots shifts from starch biosynthesis to cell wall and raffinose biosynthesis via the myo-inositol pathway

S. Gutschker, D. Ruescher, I. Y. Rabbi, L. Rosado de Souza, B. Pommerrenig, A. van Doorn, A. Schlereth, H. E. Neuhaus, A. R. Fernie, S. Reinert, U. Sonnewald, W. Zierer

This study identifies carbon pathway shifts in cassava storage roots, showing yellow-fleshed varieties direct more carbon to cell wall and raffinose biosynthesis via the myo-inositol pathway.

Cold-triggered induction of ROS- and raffinose metabolism in freezing-sensitive taproot tissue of sugar beet

I. Keller, C. Müdsam, C. Martins Rodrigues, D. Kischka, W. Zierer, U. Sonnewald, K. Harms, O. Czarnecki, K. Fiedler-Wiechers, W. Koch, H. E. Neuhaus, F. Ludewig, B. Pommerrenig

The paper compares freezing responses in sugar beet genotypes with different tolerance levels, finding that raffinose and its precursors accumulate in pith tissue of tolerant genotypes, suggesting a protective role against freezing damage.

Vernalization alters sugar beet (Beta vulgaris) sink and source identities and reverses phloem translocation from taproots to shoots

C. Martins Rodrigues, C. Müdsam, I. Keller, W. Zierer, O. Czarnecki, J. M. Corral, F. Reinhardt, P. Nieberl, F. Sommer, M. Schroda, T. Mühlhaus, K. Harms, U.-I. Flügge, W. Koch, F. Ludewig, , B. Pommerrenig

This study shows vernalization in sugar beets reverses sink-source dynamics by altering phloem translocation and gene expression, leading to sugar remobilization from taproots to shoots.
