Abstract excerpt
Plant invertases catalyze the conversion of sucrose to glucose and fructose, which are distinct signals of widely varied stress-tolerance processes, including the biosynthesis and detection of hormones under water deficit. In the invertase gene family, the candidate gene ivr2 encoding plant acid-soluble invertase plays a vital role in drought tolerance. In this study, a putative genomic sequence of ivr2 including...
