The initial step in Glc and Fru metabolism in plants is the hexokinase reaction, which
catalyzes their irreversible phosphorylation. Recently, the hexokinase reaction has been …

Background The first step in glucose metabolism is conversion of glucose to glucose 6-
phosphate (G-6-P) by hexokinases (HKs), a family with 4 isoforms. The two most common …

Depolymerization of cell wall xyloglucan has been proposed to be involved in tomato fruit
softening, along with the xyloglucan modifying enzymes. Xyloglucan endotransglucosylase …

Sucrose and trehalose-6-phosphate (T6P) are central compounds in the regulation and
orchestration of whole plant metabolism, growth, development, and flowering. To evaluate …

Glycosylation is a widespread modification of plant secondary metabolites. It is involved in
various functions, including the regulation of hormone homeostasis, the detoxification of …

Hexose kinases play a central role in the initiation of sugar metabolism of living organisms
and have also been implicated in carbon catabolite repression in yeasts and plants. In this …

Sugars, the chemically bound form of energy, are formed by the absorption of
photosynthetically active radiation and fixation in plants. During evolution, plants availed the …

Plants have evolved various strategies to sense and respond to saline environments, which
severely reduce plant growth and limit agricultural productivity. Alteration to the cell wall is …

Family GH16 glycoside hydrolases can be assigned to five subgroups according to their
substrate specificities, including xyloglucan transglucosylases/hydrolases (XTHs),(1, 3)‐β …

Plants adjust their growth and development through a sophisticated regulatory system
integrating endogenous and exogenous cues. Many of them rely on intricate crosstalk …
