referenceFructokinase, encoded by VmFKs genes, is located in the cytoplasm and chloroplast and performs catalytic fructose phosphorylation, a process promoted by red light.
referenceSucrose synthase, encoded by genes VvSWEET10, VvSUC11, and VvSUS4, is located in the cytoplasm and mitochondria and catalyzes the conversion of sucrose to UDP-glucose and fructose, a process promoted by red light.
referenceInvertase, encoded by INVs genes, is located in the cytoplasm and vacuole and catalyzes the conversion of sucrose to glucose, a process promoted by red light.
referenceSucrose phosphate synthase, encoded by the gene OsSPS, is located in the cytoplasm and chloroplast and catalyzes the conversion of UDP-glucose to sucrose, a process promoted by natural light.
procedureDuring natural product biosynthesis in plants, UDP-monosaccharide and GDP-monosaccharide are formed in the cytoplasm, transported to the Golgi apparatus by nucleotide sugar transport proteins, and then transferred by glycosyltransferases (GTs) to extended chains to form polysaccharides via dehydration and condensation, before being transported to different parts of the plant body via secretory vacuoles.
