Increased activity of MdFRK2, a high-affinity fructokinase, leads to upregulation of sorbitol metabolism and downregulation of sucrose metabolism in apple leaves
Sugar metabolism: a master regulator An international study led by Mingjun Li at Northwest A&F University in Shaanxi, China, reveals that an enzyme regulating the utilization of fructose in apple plants, fructokinase 2 (FRK2), has a key role in sugar metabolism. Overexpressing the gene encoding...
