Abstract excerpt
UDP-glucose pyrophosphorylase is an important regulatory enzyme for the development of plants and a critical enzyme in synthesis of glycogen. Here, we reported the cloning of a full-length UGP cDNA from cotton, named GhUGP. Real-time PCR analysis indicated the GhUGP expression in root, stem, leaf and flower of cotton, with a higher level in flower and root. The transcription level of GhUGP depended on sucrose and...
