AtGPP2 encodes a 3-deoxy-manno-octulosonate-8-phosphatase required for the synthesis of KDO in rhamnogalacturonan II
{{output}}
3-Deoxy-d-manno-oct-2-ulosonic acid (KDO) is an essential component of rhamnogalacturonan II (RG-II), a complex pectic polysaccharide required for plant growth and development. While most steps of the KDO biosynthetic pathway have been characterized in plants,... ...
