Ectopic expression of the apple nucleus-encoded thylakoid protein MdY3IP1 triggers early-flowering and enhanced salt-tolerance in Arabidopsis thaliana.

abstract：BACKGROUND:UDP-glucose pyrophosphorylase (UGPase) is a sugar-metabolizing enzyme (E.C. 2.7.7.9) that catalyzes a reversible reaction of UDP-glucose and pyrophosphate from glucose-1-phosphate and UTP. UDP-glucose is a key intermediate sugar that is channeled to multiple metabolic pathways. The functional role of UGPase ...
