lemna perpusilla/carbohydrate

Flowering of Lemna perpusilla strain 6746 grown on 0.1 strength Hutner's medium in short days was inhibited by sucrose, glucose, fructose, and mannose, but not by various other sugars or metabolic intermediates. Only those sugars that inhibited flowering supported heterotrophic growth. Experiments

A study was done on the effects of various factors on carbohydrate inhibition of flowering and on in vitro activity of glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase in Lemna perpusilla 6746 grown on dilute Hutner's medium in short days. Autoclaving decreased the flower inhibitory effect of sucrose but increased

Flowering in Lemna perpusilla 6746 grown on tenth-strength Hutner's medium under short days was inhibited by 30 mM sucrose, glucose or fructose, but not by mannitol. The inhibition by sucrose does not appear to be due to sucrose-induced acidification of the medium during growth, or to trace metal
