1953 Alexander Seven Years' Experience with Sugarcane - Pineapple Rotations.pdf
(ISSCT, 1953)
This paper references various studies on the respiration of different agricultural products, including sugar beets, sugarcane, apples, sweet potato roots, and general plant tissues. It discusses the respiration rates, internal gas content, and the impact of oxygen and carbon dioxide on plant tissues under various conditions.
1965 Alexander In Vitro Effects of Diuron upon Enzymes Catal.pdf
(ISSCT, 1965)
This study investigates the effects of Diuron on key enzymes involved in sugar production in sugarcane. Enzymes like hexokinase, invertase, and phosphorylases were analyzed in vitro to assess the impact of Diuron. The research aims to understand how Diuron influences these enzymes, providing insights into potential alterations in sugar production processes.
1965 Alexander The Biosynthesis of Starch in Sugar Cane.pdf
(ISSCT, 1965)
This paper delves into the biosynthesis of starch in sugarcane, an aspect often overlooked despite its impact on filtration and crystallization rates of cane juices. The study explores the mechanisms of starch formation in sugarcane, highlighting the competition between starch and sucrose synthesis pathways. It discusses the role of glucose-I-phosphate and uridine diphosphate glucose in starch biosynthesis, shedding light on the complex process in plant tissues.
