Modification of cellulose biosynthesis through varied expression of sucrose metabolism genes in tobacco and hybrid poplar

Show other versions (2)

UDP-glucose, the precursor for cellulose biosynthesis, can be produced via the catalysis of sucrose by sucrose synthase (SuSy) or through the phosphorylation of glucose-I-phosphate by UDP-glucose pyrophosphorylase (UGPase). As such, these genes, together with sucrose phosphate synthase (SPS) whic...
