Hi,
I'd like to know if plants can take in sugar through the roots ?
I'm doing some simple in-vitro experiments with orchids. I follow some procedures without really understanding why. Table sugar is used as an ingredients and those orchid seeds grows in the medium. Sugar is said to be a carbon source. do you know how the orchid protocorms takes in the sugar ?
For plants grown in the soil or pots, is it possible for roots to take in glucose, carbohydrates, polysaccharides ( complex sugars?) and molasses directly ?
Thanks.
