Other claims from this paper (9)
- Observation A full-length loquat hexokinase cDNA was isolated and named EjHXK1.
- Observation EjHXK1 is 1,839 bp long.
- Observation EjHXK1 encodes 497 amino acids.
- Observation Predicted EjHXK1 protein shares 72%-81% similarity with other plant hexokinases.
- Observation EjHXK1 is phylogenetically close to maize and rice hexokinases.
- Observation Transient EjHXK1-GFP expression localized to the cell membrane and cytoplasm.
- Observation EjHXK1 transcripts were higher early in fruit development and decreased before maturation.
- Association Fruit-development transcript pattern was consistent with hexokinase activity and conducive to hexose accumulation in mature fruit.
- Mechanism The authors infer that EjHXK1 may regulate sugar flux during fruit ripening.
