Article Synopsis
- Drought significantly impacts leaf photosynthesis in common beans, but some cultivars compensate by using pod walls as carbohydrate reservoirs for seed filling.
- A genome-wide analysis of the sucrose synthase (SUS) gene family revealed 7 genes with varying structures and evolutionary relationships among plant species.
- Experiments showed increased SUS activity and higher fructose and sucrose levels in pods under water restriction, indicating enhanced transport and metabolic processes during seed development under drought conditions.
