Ectopic Expression of Induces Stenospermocarpy and Sugar Accumulation in Tomato Fruits.

Seedless fruits are favorable in the market because of their ease of manipulation. Sucrose transporters (SUTs or SUCs) are essential for carbohydrate metabolism in plants. Whether SUTs participate directly in causing stenospermocarpy, thereby increasing fruit quality, remains unclear.

Hetero/Homo-Complexes of Sucrose Transporters May Be a Subtle Mode to Regulate Sucrose Transportation in Grape Berries.

The sugar distribution mechanism in fruits has been the focus of research worldwide; however, it remains unclear. In order to elucidate the relevant mechanisms in grape berries, the expression, localization, function, and regulation of three sucrose transporters were studied in three representative varieties. Both and expression levels were positively correlated with sugar accumulation in grape berries, whereas showed a negative relationship.

Expression of Sucrose Transporters from Confer High Yield and Enhances Drought Resistance in Arabidopsis.

Sucrose is the predominant form of sugar transported from photosynthetic (source) to non-photosynthetic (sink) organs in higher plants relying on the transporting function of sucrose transporters (SUTs or SUCs). Many SUTs have been identified and characterized in both monocots and dicots. However, the function of sucrose transporters (SUTs or SUCs) from is not clear.

Sucrose transporters of resistant grapevine are involved in stress resistance.

The whole promoter regions of SUTs in Vitis were firstly isolated. SUTs are involved in the adaptation to biotic and abiotic stresses. The vulnerability of Vitis vinifera to abiotic and biotic stresses limits its yields.
