In wounded sugar beet (Beta vulgaris L.) tap-root, hexose accumulation correlates with the induction of a vacuolar invertase isoform

J Exp Bot. 2001 Dec;52(365):2381-5. doi: 10.1093/jexbot/52.365.2381.

Abstract

Wounding of sugar beet tap-root causes an induction of invertase activity, which contributes to post-harvest sucrose losses. In this first comprehensive monitoring of wound-induced invertase mRNAs, proteins, enzyme activities, and tissue hexose concentrations, the VI isoform responsible for wound-induced hexose accumulation in mature tap-root could be identified.
