<i>Sugar Accumulation Cycle in Sugar Cane</i>. I. <i>Studies on Enzymes of the Cycle</i>

From studies of sugar accumulation with tissue slices of sugar cane storage tissue (5, 6,13) the operation of a number of enzymes must be postulated. Included among these are enzymes for the synthesis and breakdown of sucrose, the formation and breakdown of hexose phosphates, and the interconversion of glucose and fructose. This paper describes the identification of many of these enzymes in preparations from sugar cane storage tissue.
