Dynamics of non-structural carbohydrates in terrestrial plants: a global synthesis (2016, methodology): “The exact composition of the soluble sugar component varies depending on the method (Chow and Landhäusser 2004), although glucose, fructose, and sucrose are often the dominant sugars and are those most commonly measured.”
Effects of leaf litter on the growth of boreal feather mosses: Implication for forest floor development (2008, methodology): “…phenol-sulfuric acid and the residues obtained after the extraction were analysed for starch by digestion using a mixture of α-amylase and amyloglucosidase followed by colorimetric measurement of glucose hydrolysate using peroxidase-glucose oxidase-o-dianisidine reagent (Chow & Landhäusser 2004).”
Foliar habit, tolerance to defoliation and their link to carbon and nitrogen storage (2014, methodology): “Glucose was determined similarly to soluble sugars (Chow & Landh€ausser 2004).”
