The study looked at how sorbitol, a type of sugar alcohol, is used in 1-year-old apple shoots. Researchers found that sorbitol levels increased as starch decreased in the shoots, suggesting limited sorbitol metabolism. This means sorbitol is likely used for transport in apple shoots but not fully utilized for energy.
