Abstract excerpt
Legume seed development is closely related to metabolism and nutrient transport. To analyse this relationship, a combination of biochemical, histological and transgenic approaches was used. Sugars within tissue sections have been quantitatively measured by metabolic imaging. During cotyledon differentiation glucose gradients emerge related to a particular cell type, with higher concentrations in...
