Effects of sucrose starvation on Tre6P levels in cultured maize kernels (2012 season). Tre6P content was determined for kernel tissue using anion exchange chromatography in tandem with mass spectrometry [18]. a Control kernels on continuous sucrose are indicated with closed squares. Kernels were starved for 48 h (shaded area), then allowed to recover for 48 h on 150 mM sucrose are indicated with open squares. b Region from 12-96 h is expanded for detail. Means are calculated using 4 biological replicates, consisting of 3 plants each. Significance as indicated by asterisks was determined by the Student’s t test (P < 0.05). FW, fresh weight
