Sucrose metabolism plays pivotal roles in development, stress response, and yield
formation, mainly by generating a range of sugars as metabolites to fuel growth and …

Invertase (INV) hydrolyzes sucrose into glucose and fructose, thereby playing key roles in
primary metabolism and plant development. Based on their pH optima and sub-cellular …

Plant growth and carbon metabolism are closely associated since carbohydrate in the form
of sucrose generated by photosynthesis, provides the primary source of building blocks and …

Plant growth and development are modulated by concerted actions of a variety of signaling
molecules. In recent years, evidence has emerged on the roles of sugar and auxin signals …

Sucrose synthase (Sus) is a key enzyme in the breakdown of sucrose and is considered a
biochemical marker for sink strength, especially in crop species, based on mutational and …

Vacuolar invertase (VIN) has long been considered as a major player in cell expansion.
However, direct evidence for this view is lacking due, in part, to the complexity of …

Vegetative propagation (VP) is an important practice for production in many horticultural
plants. Sugar supply constitutes the basis of VP in bulb flowers, but the underlying molecular …

Seeds are one of the most important food sources, providing humans and animals with
essential nutrients. These nutrients include carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, vitamins and …

Abstract Sucrose (Suc) synthase (Sus) is the major enzyme of Suc breakdown for cellulose
biosynthesis in cotton (Gossypium hirsutum) fiber, an important source of fiber for the textile …

Despite substantial evidence on the essential roles of cell wall invertase (CWIN) in seed
filling, it remains largely unknown how CWIN exerts its regulation early in seed …
