Sucrose is the end product of photosynthesis and the primary sugar transported in the
phloem of most plants. Sucrose synthase (SuSy) is a glycosyl transferase enzyme that plays …

Abstract Sucrose synthase (SuSy, EC 2.4. 1.13) is a glycosyltransferase (GT) long known
from plants and more recently discovered in bacteria. The enzyme catalyzes the reversible …

Experiments were carried out to investigate whether sucrose synthase (Susy) catalyses a
readily reversible reaction in vivo in potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) tubers, Ricinus …

Juice tissues of citrus lack phloem; therefore, photosynthates enroute to juice sacs exit the
vascular system on the surface of each segment. Areas of extensive phloem unloading and …

ENOD40 is expressed at an early stage in root nodule organogenesis in legumes.
Identification of ENOD40 homologs in nonleguminous plants suggests that this gene may …

The basic requirements for plant growth are light, CO2, water, and minerals. However, the
absorption and utilization of each of these requires investment on the part of the plant. The …

Experiments were carried out to investigate the effects of drought stress on enzymatic
activities related to carbon and nitrogen metabolism in soybean nodules. Gradual drought …

Blue denim, a billion-dollar industry, is currently dyed with indigo in an unsustainable
process requiring harsh reducing and alkaline chemicals. Forming indigo directly in the yarn …

Drought is one of the environmental factors most affecting crop production. Under drought,
symbiotic nitrogen fixation is one of the physiological processes to first show stress …

Sorbitol and sucrose are major products of photosynthesis distributed in apple trees (Malus
domestica Borkh. cv.“Greensleeves”) that affect quality in fruit. Transgenic apple plants were …
