Uridine diphosphate glucose pyrophosphate (UGPase) catalyzes glucose-1-phosphate (Glc-
1-P) to produce uridine diphosphate glucose, a precursor of cellulose and callose, which are …

Key message A UDP-glucose pyrophosphorylase gene (LgUGPase) was identified from
Larix gmelinii, and its function in enhancing vegetative growth and cellulose biosynthesis …

Uridine diphosphate glucose dehydrogenase (UGDH) plays an important role in
biosynthesis of hemicellulose by catalyzing oxidation of UDP-glucose (UDP-Glc) to UDP …

We report here the isolation and characterization of a new endo-1, 3-β-glucanase (1, 3-β-
GLU) cDNA, OsGLN2, that is expressed both in flowers and in germinating seeds of rice …

Plant roots have the potential capacity to grow almost indefinitely if meristematic and lateral
branching is sustained. In a genetic screen we identified an Arabidopsis mutant showing …

Functional inactivation of UDP-N-acetylglucosamine pyrophosphorylase 1 (UAP1) induces
defense response-related lesion-mimic spots and subsequent early senescence in every …

Callose, a linear β-1, 3-glucan molecule, plays important roles in a variety of processes in
angiosperms, including development and the response to biotic and abiotic stress. Despite …

Key message Rice glycosyltransferase gene UGT2 was identified to play a crucial role in
salt tolerance. The transcription factor OsbZIP23 was demonstrated to regulate the UGT2 …

Glycosyltransferases are enzymes that catalyze the attachment of a sugar molecule to
specific acceptor molecules. These enzymes have been shown to play important roles in a …

In the present study, seven galacturonosyltransferase-like (GATL) genes (OsGATL s) in rice
(Oryza sativa L.) were genome-widely identified and the chromosomal locations and the …
