The present invention is in the field of plant biochemistry. More specifically the invention relates to nucleic acid sequences from plant cells, in particular, nucleic acid sequences from maize and soybean plants associated with the sucrose pathway. The invention encompasses nucleic acid molecules that encode proteins and fragments of proteins. In addition, the invention also encompasses proteins and fragments of proteins so encoded and antibodies capable of binding these proteins or fragments. The invention also relates to methods of using the nucleic acid molecules, proteins and fragments of proteins and antibodies, for example for genome mapping, gene identification and analysis, plant breeding, preparation of constructs for use in plant gene expression and transgenic plants.
A substantially purified nucleic acid molecule that encodes a maize or a soybean enzyme, wherein said nucleic acid molecule comprises a nucleic acid sequence which shares between 100% and 95% sequence identity with a nucleic acid sequence selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NOs:11, 446, 935, 1108, 2042, 2166, 2252, 2644, 2681, and 2753, wherein said enzyme encoded by said nucleic acid molecule is triose phosphate isomerase, vacuolar H+ translocating-pyrophosphatase, sucrose synthase, hexokinase, fructose 1,6-bisphosphate aldolase, fructose 6-phosphate 2-kinase, invertase, fructokinase, NDP-kinase, and UDP-glucose pyrophosphorylase, respectively.
A substantially purified nucleic acid molecule comprising a nucleic acid sequence which shares between 100% and 95% sequence identity with a nucleic acid sequence selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NOs:
