ABSTRACT
The present study was undertaken to study the effect of osmo priming on sucrose metabolism of spring maize, under limited irrigation conditions. Osmo priming increased the activities of acid invertase, alkaline invertase and sucrose synthase (cleavage) and the contents of reducing sugars and starch in the grains of stressed plants. There was also an increase in sucrose phosphate synthase activity with a parallel increase in sucrose content in leaves of stressed plants in comparison with those of hydro priming treatment. It showed that osmo priming helped in improving sucrose phosphate synthase activity in leaves of plants, leading to higher sucrose content, under stress conditions.
