Application

Sucrose has been used as a component of vitrification solutions for the freezing, thawing, or heating of embryo/oocytes. It has also been used to create sucrose gradients for the purification of viruses and proteins.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Sucrose is the chief sugar transferred in the phloem of most plants. It is used to make density gradients for the separation of cell/organelle. Sucrose can also be used in various enzymatic assays. Additionally, it serves as a supplement in the plant, insect, and bacterial culture media.

General description

Sucrose is an abundant disaccharide produced as the end product of photosynthesis. It is a nonreducing sugar comprising glucose and fructose. Sucrose is obtained from cane sugar and is mostly synthesized in leaves.

Sucrose for procedural pain management in infants.

Denise Harrison et al.

Pediatrics, 130(5), 918-925 (2012-10-10)

The use of oral sucrose has been the most extensively studied pain intervention in newborn care to date. More than 150 published studies relating to sweet-taste-induced calming and analgesia in human infants have been identified, of which 100 (65%) include

Induced over-expression of AtDREB2A CA improves drought tolerance in sugarcane.

Rafaela Ribeiro Reis et al.

Plant science : an international journal of experimental plant biology, 221-222, 59-68 (2014-03-25)

Drought is one of the most challenging agricultural issues limiting sustainable sugarcane production and, in some cases, yield losses caused by drought are nearly 50%. DREB proteins play vital regulatory roles in abiotic stress responses in plants. The transcription factor

Obesity in aging exacerbates blood-brain barrier disruption, neuroinflammation, and oxidative stress in the mouse hippocampus: effects on expression of genes involved in beta-amyloid generation and Alzheimer's disease.

Zsuzsanna Tucsek et al.

The journals of gerontology. Series A, Biological sciences and medical sciences, 69(10), 1212-1226 (2013-11-26)

There is growing evidence that obesity has deleterious effects on the brain and cognitive function in the elderly population. However, the specific mechanisms through which aging and obesity interact to promote cognitive decline remain unclear. To test the hypothesis that

Differential Growth in Periclinal and Anticlinal Walls during Lobe Formation in Arabidopsis Cotyledon Pavement Cells.

William J Armour et al.

The Plant cell, 27(9), 2484-2500 (2015-08-25)

Lobe development in the epidermal pavement cells of Arabidopsis thaliana cotyledons and leaves is thought to take place via tip-like growth on the concave side of lobes driven by localized concentrations of actin filaments and associated proteins, with a predicted

c-Src drives intestinal regeneration and transformation.

Julia B Cordero et al.

The EMBO journal, 33(13), 1474-1491 (2014-05-03)

The non-receptor tyrosine kinase c-Src, hereafter referred to as Src, is overexpressed or activated in multiple human malignancies. There has been much speculation about the functional role of Src in colorectal cancer (CRC), with Src amplification and potential activating mutations
