The content of glucose, fructose and saccharose as well as changes in the activities of enzymes involved in their biosynthesis and degradation were studied in tobacco plants infected with potato virus Y (necrotic strain) during the acute-infection period. Over the first part of this period, accumulation of saccharose, glucose and fructose was observed concurrently with decreased activities of the enzymes metabolizing saccharose, glucose and fructose (saccharases, saccharose synthase and hexokinases) and enhancement in the activities of enzymes synthesizing these carbohydrates (saccharosephosphate synthase, glucose-6-phosphate and/or fructose-6-phosphate phosphatases). The subsequent period was characterised by a reduction in both phosphatases. The activities of glucokinase, fructokinase, saccharases and saccharose synthase were strongly increased at the culmination of virus multiplication and negatively correlated with the content of free glucose, fructose and saccharose.
