Aldose-6-phosphate reductase (A6PRase) is a key enzyme for glucitol biosynthesis in plants from the Rosaceae family. To gain on molecular tools for enzymological studies, we developed an accurate system for the heterologous ...

Polyols or sugar alcohols are molecules associated with a series of roles in plants, such as increased tolerance to abiotic stresses like cold and saline stress, protection against reactive oxygen species by acting as a ...

In Plantaginaceae and Rosaceae species, sugar alcohols like sorbitol are phloem-translocated and allow more efficient use of carbon, act as compatible solutes in abiotic stress and facilitate boron mobilisation. The key ...

In Rosaceae (apple, stone fruits) and Plantaginaceae (plantain) species, sugar alcohols like sorbitol are phloem-translocated and allow more efficient use of carbon, act as compatible solutes in abiotic stress (cold, ...

In Rosaceae and Plantaginaceae species, sugar alcohols like sorbitol are phloem-translocated and allow more efficient use of carbon, act as compatible solutes in abiotic stress and facilitate boron mobilisation. The key ...

During photosynthesis, plants of the Rosaceae and Plantaginaceae families mainly translocate sorbitol. This sugar alcohol is synthesised in source organs by aldose 6-phosphate reductase (A6PR), which reduces glucose-6-P ...

Sorbitol is the main phloem-translocated photosynthate in many species of the Rosaceae family. The key regulatory step in the synthesis of this acyclic polyol is catalysed by aldose-6-phosphate-reductase (A6PR) in source ...

Sorbitol is synthesized in Rosaceae species, especially in source organs, in a pathway involving aldose 6-phosphate reductase (A6PR, EC 1.1.1.200). As compatible solutes, sorbitol and other sugar alcohols assist in the ...
