Abstract

Significant advances have been made with respect to elucidating the structure, the allosteric site, interactions of effectors, covalent modifications, and the amino acid sequence of the ADPG synthetase. It is hoped that in the near future, sufficient information will be obtained to enable facile manipulation of the plant tissue ADPG synthetase gene and its product.
