Biochemical properties and subcellular localization of six members of the HXK family in maize and its metabolic contribution to embryo germination

Abstract Background Seed germination is a crucial process in the plant life cycle when a dramatic variation of type and sugar content occurs just as the seed is hydrated. The production of hexose 6 phosphate is a key node in different pathways that are required for a successful germination. Hexokina...
