Abstract excerpt
The effects of inorganic phosphate (Pi) deficiency on the expression of the UDP-glucose pyrophosphorylase (UGPase) gene (Ugp), involved in sucrose synthesis/metabolism, and on carbohydrate status were investigated in different tissues of Arabidopsis thaliana (L.) Heynh. For leaves, a decrease in internal Pi status caused by growth of plants on a medium lacking Pi (-P conditions) led to an increase in the overall...
