Abstract
The localization of some key enzymes leading to sucrose synthesis in photosynthetic tissue of C3 and C4 species was investigated. These included UDP-glucose (UDPG) pyrophosphorylase, sucrose phosphate synthetase, and glycerate kinase. Whether glycerate kinase is localized exclusively in the chloroplast or partly outside the chloroplast could influence the fate of carbon flow to sucrose through the glycolate pathway.This publication has 14 references indexed in Scilit:
