Der Einfluss der Bodentrockenheit auf den Kohlenhydratgehalt einiger Crassulaceen

Abstract

Plants of Bryophyllum tubiflorum were held 12 days, plants of Sempervivum tectorum 11 and 23 days without water. Then, the contents of sugars and starch were determined. In Bryophyllum the quantity of monosaccharides decreased, that of oligosaccharides and of starch increased. In Sempervivum the total contents of sugars were higher after 11 days, but the amount of starch had decreased. After 23 days of dryness the contents of sugars and of starch had decreased very much, and a somewhat exceptional behaviour of raffinose was observed.
