Changes in the Activities of Sugars and Sugar Metabolic Enzymes in Grape Berries during Development

Shafia Bashir, Nirmaljit Kaur & N. K. Arora · Current Journal of Applied Science and Technology · 2018

Accumulation of sugars is an important metabolic process that occurs during grape berry development. Sugars are transported into the berry mainly in the form of sucrose and are broken down into glucose and fructose by the enzymes invertase and sucrose synthase. Changes in activit...
