Trehalose serves as a stress protectant and/or reserve carbohydrate in a variety of
organisms including bacteria, yeast, and invertebrates. Recently, trace amounts of trehalose
have been detected in higher plants, although the function of trehalose in plants remains
unknown. A cDNA clone (OsTPP1) encoding a putative trehalose-6-phosphate phosphatase
(TPP) for trehalose biosynthesis was isolated from rice. Functionality of the clone was
demonstrated by complementation of a yeast mutant and enzymatic activity of the …
