RUI: Distribution of Starch in Tissues of Source Leaves During Various Phases of the Life Cycle

RUI：淀粉在源叶组织中的分布 在生命周期的各个阶段：Fondy博士将测试 叶中淀粉不均匀的假设， 关于位置，结构和代谢，取决于 它所要实现的功能。 这将涉及 多管齐下的方法，包括生物化学，C-14标记， 组织化学和电子显微镜研究。 本科生 将参与研究。 这项研究的结果将有助于 了解碳在作物中的分布， 每天和季节性都受到控制。 这可以 形成的做法，增加比例的基础上， 光合作用产生的碳被输送到可收获的植物部分。

RUI: Distribution of Starch in Tissues of Source Leaves during Various Phases of the Life Cycle: Dr. Fondy will test the hypothesis that starch in leaves is heterogeneous with regard to location, structure and metabolism depending on the function it is intended to fulfill. This will involve a multi-pronged approach including biochemical, C-14 labeling, histochemical and electron microscopic studies. Undergraduates will participate in the research. The results of this research will contribute to an understanding of carbon distribution in crop plants and how it is controlled on a daily as well as a seasonal basis. This can form the basis of practices that increase proportions of photoassimilated carbon sent to harvestable plant parts.
