Identification and Expression Analysis of Pineapple Sugar Transporters Reveal Their Role in the Development and Environmental Response

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022
In plants, sugars are required for several essential functions, including growth, storage, signaling, defense and reproduction. Sugar transporters carry out the controlled movement of sugars from source (leaves) to sink (fruits and roots) tissues and ...

The Malus domestica Sugar Transporter Gene Family: Identifications Based on Genome and Expression Profiling Related to the Accumulation of Fruit Sugars

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2014
In plants, sugar transporters are involved not only in long-distance transport, but also in sugar accumulations in sink cells. To identify members of sugar transporter gene families and to analyze their function in fruit sugar accumulation, we conducted ...

Sugar Transporter ZjSWEET2.2 Mediates Sugar Loading in Leaves of Ziziphus jujuba Mill

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2020
In plants, sugar transporters play an important role in the allocation of sugars from cells in source organs to cells in sink organs. Hence, an understanding of the molecular basis and regulation of assimilate partitioning by sugar transporters is ...

Starving the enemy: how plant and microbe compete for sugar on the border

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2023
As the primary energy source for a plant host and microbe to sustain life, sugar is generally exported by Sugars Will Eventually be Exported Transporters (SWEETs) to the host extracellular spaces or the apoplast.

Genome-wide identification, expression and functional analysis of sugar transporters in sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L.)

Journal of Integrative Agriculture, 2022
Sugar transporters are essential for osmotic process regulation, various signaling pathways and plant growth and development. Currently, few studies are available on the function of sugar transporters in sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L.).

Identification and analysis of the putative pentose sugar efflux transporters in Escherichia coli. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
Escherichia coli possesses a number of proteins that transport sugars out of the cell. We identified 31 candidate sugar efflux transporters based on their similarity to known sugar efflux transporters.

Vacuole: a repository to control fruit flavor quality

Fruit Research, 2023
The content of sugar and organic acid is the main factor that determines the fruit flavor quality and yield. More specifically, the ratio of sugar to organic acid affects the taste and nutritional value of fruits.

Integrating Sugar Metabolism With Transport: Elevation of Endogenous Cell Wall Invertase Activity Up-Regulates SlHT2 and SlSWEET12c Expression for Early Fruit Development in Tomato

Frontiers in Genetics, 2020
Early fruit development is critical for determining crop yield. Cell wall invertase (CWIN) and sugar transporters both play important roles in carbon allocation and plant development.
