Expression of genes associated with carbohydrate metabolism in cotton stems and roots [PDF]
Background Cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L) is an important crop worldwide that provides fiber for the textile industry. Cotton is a perennial plant that stores starch in stems and roots to provide carbohydrates for growth in subsequent seasons ...

Mechanistic characterization of UDP‐glucuronic acid 4‐epimerase
UDP‐glucuronic acid (UDP‐GlcA) is a central precursor in sugar nucleotide biosynthesis and common substrate for C4‐epimerases and decarboxylases releasing UDP‐galacturonic acid (UDP‐GalA) and UDP‐pentose products, respectively.

Biosynthesis of plant cell walls [PDF]
The cell wall plays a major role in determining the expansion, growth and shape of plant cells, and thus of the plant itself. Additionally, cell wall breakdown products are used as developmental signals.

Cell Wall Synthesis In the Dimorphic Fungus Mucor rouxii: The Formation Of Uridine Diphosphohexoses [PDF]
In this paper the properties of the enzymes UDP glucose dehydrogenase and UDP galactose epimerase were characterized. It was shown that UDP glucose dehydrogenase has a considerable lag period, and is activated by the substrate UDP glucose.
