Abstract
Wounding of sugar beet tap-root causes an induction of invertase activity, which contributes to postharvest sucrose losses. In this first comprehensiv e monitoring of wound-induced invertase mRNAs, proteins, enzyme activities, and tissue hexose concentrations, the VI isoform responsible for wound-ind uced hexose accummulation in mature tap-root could be identified.
