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 …

All plant cells are surrounded by a cell wall that determines the directionality of cell growth
and protects the cell against its environment. Plant cell walls are comprised primarily of …

Developing plant embryos depend on nutrition from maternal tissues via the seed coat and
endosperm, but the mechanisms that supply nutrients to plant embryos have remained …

Soybean accounts for more than half of the global production of oilseed and more than a
quarter of the protein used globally for human food and animal feed. Soybean domestication …

Light qualities are thought to affect many plant physiological processes during growth and
development. To investigate how light qualities influence tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) …

Sucrose synthase (SUS) catalyzes the reversible conversion of sucrose and a nucleoside
diphosphate into the corresponding nucleoside diphosphate-glucose and fructose. In …

Many plants accumulate transitory starch reserves in their leaves during the day to buffer
their carbohydrate supply against fluctuating light conditions, and to provide carbon and …

Pods play a key role in encapsulating the developing seeds and protecting them from pests
and pathogens. In addition to this protective function, it has been shown that the …

Sucrose synthase catalyzes the reaction sucrose+ UDP→ UDP-glucose+ fructose, the first
step in the conversion of sucrose to starch in endosperm. Previous studies identified two …

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 …
