Phloem unloading plays a pivotal role in photoassimilate partitioning and the accumulation of sugars in sink organs, e.g. fruit. Here, we investigated the pathway of sucrose unloading in kiwifruit (Actinidia deliciasa cv. Qinmei) using a combination of electron microscopy, transport of the phloem-mobile symplastic tracer carboxyfluorescein and enzyme activity and gene expression assays. Our structural...
Water use efficiency is an important indicator for plant adaptation and resistance to drought conditions. We previously found that under moderate drought stress, the water use efficiency of cv. ‘Qinguan’ apple (Malus domestica Borkh.) (tolerant to drought) was enhanced, while that of cv. ‘Naganofuji No. 2’ was not enhanced. In this research, we also found that instantaneous water-use efficiency of...
