HXK activity and expression profiles of maize HXK genes during germination. HXK activities from mature plant roots (R), leaf blade (LB), leaf sheath (LS) and tassel (T), together with maize 24 h embryos (E) were determined using Glc or Fru as a substrate in (a) Cytosolic and (b) Mitochondrial fractions. HXK activities during maize embryo germination were determined using Glc or Fru as a substrate in (c) Cytosolic and (d) Mitochondrial fractions. e Relative expression of ZmHXK4–9 during embryo germination. The expression analysis was made by qPCR. The mean and standard deviations were obtained from three technical repeats with three independent replicates
