Investigating the role of sucrose synthase in Arabidopsis thaliana and hybrid poplar
Sucrose synthase (SuSy) cleaves sucrose to produce fructose and UDP-glucose, the latter serving as the precursor for cellulose biosynthesis. Sucrose synthase often exists as many isoforms in plants; for example, Arabidopsis has six isoforms. Along with it role in routine metabolism, sucrose synthase...
