“…Soluble sugars can be stored in different vegetable tissues (Davidson, 2019;Liu et al, 2018;Smith et al, 2018;Pallardy, 2008) during time periods when either their production is abundant (Briceño-Contreras et al, 2021;Magel, Eining, & Hampp, 2000), or their demand is lower than their synthesis (Pérez-Urria, 2009). It has been reported that the highest total soluble sugars (TSS) production and accumulation rate occurs prior to flowering (Briceño-Contreras et al, 2018), and these soluble sugars are used when either the plant's energetic demand overcomes the production, or the plant could be facing some stress level (Valenzuela-Núñez et al, 2019;Pérez-Urria et al, 2009). Plants can dispose of energy required for their growth, reproduction, defence against diseases, as well as to withstand adverse environmental conditions or any other type of stress (Aluko et al, 2021;Ok et al, 2021;Liu et al, 2018;Pinkard et al, 2018;Martínez-Trinidad, Plascencia-Escalante & Islas-Rodríguez, 2013).…”
