Gene Details:

• Gene ID:
• Gene Symbol: MsSPSA
• Gene Name: sucrose phosphate synthase
• Genome:
• Species: Medicago sativa

Functional Descriptions:

• Nodule-enhanced expression of a sucrose phosphate synthase gene member (MsSPSA) has a role in carbon and nitrogen metabolism in the nodules of alfalfa.
• While MsSPSA showed nodule-enhanced expression, both MsSPSB genes exhibited leaf-enhanced expression. Alfalfa leaf and nodule SPS enzymes showed differences in chromatographic and electrophoretic migration and differences in V max and allosteric regulation.
• The expression of the MsSPSA gene in the nodules, however, does not seem to be regulated by N2 fixation or other factors caused by N defficiency.
• MsSPSA transcript levels in the nodules are not affected by the N2 fixing ability of the symbiont.
