Article Synopsis
  • L. is an important vegetable crop with health benefits, yet its sucrose metabolism is not well understood, prompting a study on onion bulb development using RNA-seq.
  • The research identified 79,376 unigenes, highlighting that 7% were related to carbohydrate transport and metabolism, with significant involvement in the "starch and sucrose metabolism" pathway.
  • Findings showed that sucrose transporters were most active in early bulb development, while key enzymes likely facilitated the conversion of sucrose into glucose and fructose, with significant changes in sugar content observed as the bulbs grew.
