What Does SPS Stand For?

SPS stands for Sucrose Phosphate Synthase

Sucrose Phosphate Synthase (SPS) is an important enzyme in plant metabolism that catalyzes the conversion of glucose-1-phosphate and fructose-6-phosphate into sucrose-6-phosphate. This reaction is a key step in sucrose biosynthesis, playing a crucial role in carbohydrate accumulation and energy balance within plants. SPS activity is influenced by various factors, including light, carbohydrates, and environmental conditions, making it essential for understanding plant growth and productivity.
