Canna leaf

This finding is in accord with the results of experiments on Canna leaves supplied with labeled substrates, indicating that both of the immediate precursors of sucrose are phosphorylated compounds and that no free D-fructose is involved in the process of synthesis 181), Since phosphatase is also present in wheat germ, the sucrose phosphate formed in the plant may be rapidly dephosphorylated, resulting in the accumulation of free sucrose.
