Simplified biosynthetic pathway for cytokinin biosynthesis followed given such steps;

a) isopentenyl transferase (IPT), is the addition of the isopentenyl side chain from DMAPP (dimethylallyl diphosphate) to an adenosine moiety (AMP)

b) iPRTP or iPRDP is converted to ZTP or ZDP respectively by cytochrome P450 monooxygenase  and eventually is converted to zeatin

c) The ribotide and riboside forms of trans-zeatin can be interconverted, and free transzeatin can be formed from the ribotide by the LONELY GUY (LOG) family of cytokinin

Which of the following steps is true of the cytokinin biosynthesis?

Sucrose is split into its two monosaccharide units—glucose and fructose—which can readily enter the glycolytic pathway. Two pathways for the splitting of sucrose are known in plants, both of which take part in the use of sucrose from phloem unloading; Invertase pathway and sucrose synthase pathway, some statements are given about these pathways, which of the following is incorrect?
