Pyrimidine nucleotides (e.g. deoxy-CTP, deoxy-TTP, UTP, and CTP) are essential building blocks for DNA and RNA synthesis in all organisms. In plants, Suc and cell wall polymer synthesis depend on pyrimidine nucleotide-derived substrates, such as UDP-Glc, and important classes of membrane lipids are
