Microbial fructan, the β(2,6)-linked levan, is synthesized directly from sucrose by levansucrase, which is able to catalyze both sucrose hydrolysis and levan polymerization.

Sucrose is essential for plant growth and development, serving as both an energy carrier and a regulator of cellular processes. In fruits like tomatoes, sugar metabolism critically shapes flavor ...

Photosynthetic sucrose not only supplies roots with carbohydrates but also acts as a signal transmitter for light-dependent root architecture. Share: Facebook Twitter Pinterest LinkedIN Email.
