The enzyme sucrose synthase (UDP-glucose: D-fructose 2alpha-glucosyltransferase, EC 2.4.1.13) is a key enzyme in carbohydrate metabolism, catalyzing the reversible conversion of sucrose uridine-diphosphate into fructose and UDP-glucose. We report the molecular characterization of two classes of cDNA and genomic clones encoding sucrose synthase from Craterostigma plantagineum Hochst., a resurrection plant in which the turnover of sucrose is considered to have an important role in the unique phenomenon of surviving desiccation. Sucrose-synthase transcript and protein levels are modulated by dehydration and rehydration. In-situ hybridization revealed that transcripts preferentially accumulate in phloem tissues. Promoter analysis underlined a role for class-I sucrose-synthase genes in dehydration stress and in response to cis-abscisic acid. A DNA sequence motif common to class-I sucrose-synthase and sucrose-phosphate-synthase genes was discovered.
