Abstract
Sucrose has been identified as an indicator of metabolic poise in plants, which can modulate processes at a number of different levels. We are characterising genes in temperature grasses and cereals that are up- or down-regulated in response to changes in assimilate abundance. Among these are genes involved in the chemical partitioning of current photosynthate. The programme involves the use of differential screening, the characterisation of the resulting gene sequences, a study of their expression and their compartmentation within different tissues of the leaf.
