Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Invertases (INVs) are key enzymes regulating sucrose metabolism and are here revealed to be involved in responses to environmental stress in plants. To date, individual members of the invertase gene family and their expression patterns are unknown in sugarcane due to its complex genome despite their significance in sucrose metabolism. RESULTS: In this study, based on comparative genomics, eleven cDNA...
