Molecular cloning and functional analysis of a Chrysanthemum vestitum GME homolog that enhances drought tolerance in transgenic tobacco

Scientific Reports, 2022
GDP-mannose 3, 5-epimerase (GME, EC 5.1.3.18), a key enzyme in the ascorbic acid synthesis pathway, catalyzes the conversion of GDP-D-mannose to GDP-l-galactose in higher plants. Here, a homolog of GME was isolated from Chrysanthemum vestitum.
