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

RUI：淀粉在来源叶片组织中在生命周期各个阶段的分布：Fondy博士将测试淀粉在叶片中的位置，结构和代谢方面是不均匀的假设，这取决于它想要实现的功能。这将涉及多管齐下的方法，包括生化，C-14标记，组织化学和电镜研究。本科生将参与研究。这项研究的结果将有助于了解作物植物中的碳分布以及如何在日常和季节基础上控制碳分布。这可以形成实践的基础，增加发送到可收获植物部分的光同化碳的比例。

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.
