  Transaldolase is one of the enzymes of the Pentose Phosphate Pathway (PPP). 
  Transaldolase in non-oxidative phase of OPPP transfer a three carbon dihydroxyacetone 
  moiety from sedoheptulose-7-phosphate and glyceraldehyde-3-phophate to produce 
  Erythrose-4-Phophate (E4P) and fructose-6-phophate. E4P is the precursor for 
  many secondary metabolic pathways including aromatic amino acids, lignin and 
  flavonoid synthesis. Earlier studies revealed that OPPP is incomplete in the 
  cytosol of plants as no genes encoding for a cytosolic TAL. Moreover, there 
  is no study about the <i>TAL</i> genes from sugarcane until to date. Thus, the 
  objective of this study is to isolate <i>TAL</i> gene from sugarcane, to compare 
  its similarity with other plants, to determine its subcellular localization. 
  A total of 1601 bp of TAL has been isolated by PCR. Similarity, studies by ClustalW 
  revealed that TAL show highest similarity (75%) with <i>Zea mays</i>. Analysis 
  of subcellular localization by using Target 1.1 revealed that of TAL from sugarcane 
  was not located in the plastidic.}
