To elucidate the regulation pattern of extracellular invertase LIN6 of tomato, the corresponding promoter has been cloned and the sink-tissue specific expression and its regulation by sugars, stress ...

Invertase genes encode a family of enzymes responsible for the irreversible hydrolysis of sucrose into glucose and fructose. This catalytic action is essential not only for basic cellular metabolism, ...

Preventing activity of a key enzyme in potatoes could help boost potato quality by putting an end to cold-induced sweetening, according to U.S. Department of Agriculture scientists. Preventing ...

In order to facilitate the search for genes underlying QTLs (Quantitative Trait Loci), the activities of key enzymes of the carbohydrate metabolism in maize, and the concentration of their substrates ...
