Evolutionary history drives organ-specific variability in plant non-structural carbohydrates

We compiled an extensive global database of field observations on non-structural carbohydrate (NSC) concentrations, including total NSC, soluble sugars and starch in terrestrial plants during the growing season. We conducted a search in two major web-based platforms: Web of Science (WOS) and Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) on 11 October, 2023. The final compiled database consists of totally 29,386 measurements including 9,960 observations of total NSC, 10,312 observations of soluble sugars and 9,213 observations of starch from 1,016 sites.我们构建了一套覆盖全球的大规模陆生植物野外观测数据库，收录了生长季内陆生植物的非结构性碳水化合物（non-structural carbohydrate, NSC）浓度数据，涵盖总非结构性碳水化合物、可溶性糖与淀粉三类指标。我们于2023年10月11日在两大主流网络学术平台——Web of Science（WOS）与中国知网（CNKI）——开展了文献检索。最终汇编得到的数据库共包含29386条观测记录，其中来自1016个样点的总非结构性碳水化合物、可溶性糖和淀粉的观测数分别为9960、10312和9213条。
