Thesis (MSc (Botany and Zoology))--University of Stellenbosch, 2005. / The main substrate use during shoot establishment from the lateral bud of sugarcane setts
and enzymes involved in sucrose metabolism were investigated in the shoots and the
internodes acting as source of carbohydrates. Radiolabelling studies were conducted to
investigate the metabolism of sucrose and glucose during shoot establishment. The
internode’s total dry mass over the 21-day of shoot establishment period was reduced by
25% and 30% in plants incubated in dark/light and total darkness, respectively.
