Sucrose is the end product of photosynthesis and the primary sugar transported in the
phloem of most plants. Sucrose synthase (SuSy) is a glycosyl transferase enzyme that plays …

Background Sucrose synthase (SUS) is widely considered a key enzyme participating in
sucrose metabolism in higher plants and regarded as a biochemical marker for sink strength …

Sucrose metabolism is a fundamental process during tomato ripening. Studies have shown
the role of the phytohormone methyl jasmonate (MeJA) in tomato fruit ripening. However, the …

Abstract Key message Two homologs PsnSuSy1 and PsnSuSy2 from poplar played largely
similar but little distinct roles in modulating sink strength, accelerating vegetative growth and …

Poplar is an important tree species for ecological protection, wood production, bioenergy
and urban greening; it has been widely planted worldwide. However, the catkin fibers …

Sucrose synthase (SS) is widely considered as the key enzyme involved in the plant sugar
metabolism that is critical to plant growth and development, especially quality of the fruit. The …

Background Sugarcane accumulates very high levels of sucrose in the culm. Elucidation of
the molecular mechanisms that allows such high sucrose synthesis and accumulation (up to …

Sucrose, as the main product of photosynthesis, plays crucial roles in plant development.
Although studies on general metabolism pathway were well documented, less information is …

In trees, nonstructural carbohydrates (NSCs) serve as long‐term carbon storage and long‐
distance carbon transport from source to sink. NSC management in response to drought …

Main conclusion Provide an evolutionary and an empirical molecular genetic foundation of
the Sus gene family in tobacco and will be beneficial for further investigations of Sus gene …
