Journal ArticleDOI
An Association Between Acid Invertase Activity and Cell Growth during Leaf Expansion in Phaseolus vulgaris L.
David A. Morris,E. D. Arthur +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors found that the acid invertase activity of Phaseolus vulgaris grows rapidly during the early stages of leaf expansion, reaching a peak at the time of most rapid cell enlargement (5 d after emergence) and then declining as the leaf matured.
Journal ArticleDOI
Invertase Activity, Carbohydrate Metabolism and Cell Expansion in the Stem of Phaseolus vulgaris L.
David A. Morris,E. D. Arthur +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the role of acid invertase in the provision of carbon substrates for cell growth was discussed in relation to the effect of light-growing plants on the development of Phaseolus vulgaris.
Journal ArticleDOI
Invertase activity in sinks undergoing cell expansion
David A. Morris,E. D. Arthur +1 more
TL;DR: It is considered that, by controlling the availability of hexose substrates for cellular metabolism, acid invertase may regulate cell growth, and the need for more information on the sub-cellular localization of the enzyme is drawn.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of gibberellic acid on patterns of carbohydrate distribution and acid invertase activity in Phaseolus vulgaris
David A. Morris,E. D. Arthur +1 more
TL;DR: By stimulating acid invertase synthesis in the elongating internodes, GA3 acts to establish a more favourable sucrose gradient between these sinks and source leaves and under source-limiting conditions this will lead to a reduced rate of assimilate translocation to competing sinks in the root system.
Journal ArticleDOI
Invertase and auxin-induced elongation in internodal segments of Phaseolus vulgaris
David A. Morris,E. D. Arthur +1 more
TL;DR: A close positive correlation was observed between segment elongation and the specific activity of soluble acid invertase in stem segments of P. vulgaris incubated for 21 hr in the presence of IAA or of several synthetic auxins and auxin analogues.
