Galacturonosyltransferase 4 silencing alters pectin composition and carbon partitioning in tomato
(2013-04)Pectin is a main component of the plant cell wall and is the most complex family of polysaccharides in nature. Its composition is essential for the normal growth and morphology pattern, as demonstrated by pectin-defective ... -
Mobile forms of carbon in trees : metabolism and transport
(Oxford University Press, 2022-03)Plants constitute 80% of the biomass on earth, and almost two-thirds of this biomass is found in wood. Wood formation is a carbon (C)-demanding process and relies on C transport from photosynthetic tissues. Thus, understanding ... -
The cytosolic invertase NI6 affects vegetative growth, flowering, fruit set, and yield in tomato
(Oxford University Press, 2021-03)Sucrose metabolism is important for most plants, both as the main source of carbon and via signaling mechanisms that have been proposed for this molecule. A cleaving enzyme, invertase (INV) channels sucrose into sink ...
