Identification and biochemical characterization of the fructokinase gene family in Arabidopsis thaliana
Abstract Background Fructose is an abundant sugar in plants as it is a breakdown product of both major sucrose-cleaving enzymes. To enter metabolism, fructose is phosphorylated by a fructokinase (FRK). Known FRKs are members of a diverse family of carbohydrate/purine kinases known as the phosphofruc...
