Rice Cultivars with Higher Sucrose Synthase Activity Develop Longer Coleoptiles under Submerged Conditions

Sucrose synthase, which catalyzes uridine diphosphate (UDP)-dependent cleavage of sucrose into fructose and UDP-glucose, is induced by oxygen deficiency in rice seedlings and is considered to play an important role in energy production under hypoxic conditions. In this study, we analyzed the relatio...
