Origin of sucrose metabolism in higher plants: when, how and why?
Open accessAbstract
Since the discovery of sucrose biosynthesis, considerable advances have been made in understanding its regulation and crucial role in the functional biology of plants. However, important aspects of this metabolism are still an enigma. Studies in cyanobacteria and the publication of the sequences of several complete genomes have recently significantly increased our knowledge of the structures of proteins involved in sucrose metabolism and given us new insights into their origin and further evolution.

Sucrose synthase seems to be present only in filamentous N2-fixing cyanobacteria, where it is involved in the accumulation of storage and structural polysaccharides.
“This enzyme seems to be present only in filamentous N2-fixing cyanobacteria (Curatti et al. 2000; Salerno and Curatti 2003) where it is involved in the accumulation of storage (glycogen and sucrose) and structural (such as cellulose, see below) polysaccharides (Curatti et al. 2008).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
