“…2). Melon representatives of the three clades of NIN (Ji et al 2005;Murayama and Handa 2007;Nonis et al 2008;Vargas et al 2008), two clades of UGE (Barber et al 2006;Rösti et al 2007), two groups of FK , three groups of SUS Núñez et al 2008;Subbaiah et al 2006) and two groups of HK (Claeyssen and Rivoal 2007;Granot 2008;Olsson et al 2003) were all identified. The SPS gene family, which has been divided into three subfamilies, A, B and C (Komatsu et al 1999;Langenkämper et al 2002;Lutfiyya et al 2007) is the only exception.…”

“…Portions of the extra-vacuolar metabolism may also be particularly localized to mitochondria, plastids and cytosol. Distinct organellar localizations have recently been reported for the members of three enzyme families, SUS Núñez et al 2008;Subbaiah et al 2006), FK (Damari-Weissler et al 2006) and HK (Claeyssen and Rivoal 2007;Granot 2008;Kandel-Kfir et al 2006;Olsson et al 2003), that had previously been attributed a cytosolic localization.…”

Metabolism of soluble sugars in developing melon fruit: a global transcriptional view of the metabolic transition to sucrose accumulation

The sweet melon fruit is characterized by a metabolic transition during its development that leads to extensive accumulation of the disaccharide sucrose in the mature fruit. While the biochemistry of the sugar metabolism pathway of the cucurbits has been well studied, a comprehensive analysis of the pathway at the transcriptional level allows for a global genomic view of sugar metabolism during fruit sink development. We identified 42 genes encoding the enzymatic reactions of the sugar metabolism pathway in melon. The expression pattern of the 42 genes during fruit development of the sweet melon cv Dulce was determined from a deep sequencing analysis performed by 454 pyrosequencing technology, comprising over 350,000 transcripts from four stages of developing melon fruit flesh, allowing for digital expression of the complete metabolic pathway. The results shed light on the transcriptional control of sugar metabolism in the developing sweet melon fruit, particularly the metabolic transition to sucrose accumulation, and point to a concerted metabolic transition that occurs during fruit development.

“…To date, all reported HXKs, which belong to either type-A or type-B, have been in dicotyledons (Claeyssen and Rivoal 2007). By searching genomic databases, it was found that the sequence of ZmHXK (EU965740) is similar to that of the type-C OsHXKs, suggesting that ZmHXK may also belong to the type-C HXKs (data not shown).…”

Hexokinase (HXK, EC 2.7.1.1) plays an important role in the metabolism and glucose signalling. To examine the characteristics of HXK gene family in rice, the subcellular localizations of ten hexokinases (OsHXK1 -OsHXK10) were determined using OsHXK::GFP fusion proteins in tobacco mesophyll protoplasts. As was previously demonstrated, OsHXK4 was detected in the chloroplast stroma, OsHXK5 and OsHXK6 in the mitochondria, and OsHXK7 and OsHXK10 in the cytoplasm. In the present study, OsHXKs were clearly divided into three types (A, B, C) based on their N-terminal sequences. The new type-C HXKs in plants, OsHXK1, OsHXK7 and OsHXK8, which lack the plastidic transit peptide and the membrane anchor domain, were detected not only in the cytoplasm but also in the nucleus. The type-B HXKs, OsHXK2, OsHXK3, OsHXK9 and OsHXK10, which contained a membrane anchor domain, were distinctly localized in the mitochondria. These results suggest that OsHXKs localized in different cell compartments may be involved in the glucose signalling-related gene expression during growth and development of rice.

“…Relative abundance levels for galactinol in immature internodes were higher than mature internodes for all species examined; with significant differences between species, internodes and species × internodes interactions (P≤0.01 for all parameters). It has been suggested that raffinose and the raffinose-family of oligosaccharides are involved in stress tolerance and they are commonly found in seeds as a dessication tolerance agent (Claeyssen and Rivoal 2007). In the present study M. sinesis, S. robustum and S. spontaneum had higher relative abundance values of raffinose in the immature than mature internodes, the opposite of what was observed in the remaining species; with significant differences between species and a significant species × internode interaction (P≤0.01 for both).…”

“…Mannitol has been detected in more than 100 vascular plants (Nadwodnik and Lohaus 2008) and it is a major translocatable sugar in some species (Claeyssen and Rivoal 2007;Trip et al 1965) where it may play a similar role to sucrose in transferring photosynthate to various sinks (Bieleski 1982). Studies in transgenic plants have also suggested that mannitol may have a role in resistance to salt stress (Abebe et al 2003;Zhifang and Loescher 2003).…”

The use of sugarcane as a biofactory and source of renewable biomass is being investigated increasingly due to its vigorous growth and ability to fix a large amount of carbon dioxide compared to other crops. The high biomass resulting from sugarcane production (up to 80 t/ha) makes it a candidate for genetic manipulation to increase the production of other sugars found in this research that are of commercial interest. Sucrose is the major sugar measured in sugarcane with hexoses glucose and fructose present in lower concentrations; sucrose can make up to 60% of the total dry weight of the culm. Species related to modern sugarcane cultivars were examined for the presence of sugars other than glucose, fructose and sucrose with the potential of this crop as a biofactory in mind. The species examined form part of the Saccharum complex, a closelyrelated interbreeding group. Extracts of the immature and mature internodes of six different species and a hybrid were analysed with gas chromatography mass spectrometry to identify mono-, di-and tri-saccharides, as well as sugar acids and sugar alcohols. Thirty two sugars were detected, 16 of which have previously not been identified in sugarcane. Apart from glucose, fructose and sucrose the abundance of sugars in all plants was low but the research demonstrated the presence of sugar pathways that could be manipulated. Since species from the Saccharum complex can be interbred, any genes leading to the production of sugars of interest could be introgressed into commercial Saccharum species or manipulated through genetic engineering.
