Other claims from this paper (9)
- Observation SWEET17 was highly expressed in root cortex and localized to root cell tonoplast.
- Intervention effect Fructose and darkness induced root SWEET17 expression.
- Intervention effect SWEET17 mutation increased root growth with fructose.
- Intervention effect SWEET17 overexpression reduced leaf fructose content by 80% under cold stress.
- Intervention effect SWEET17 overexpression increased vacuolar fructose uptake versus wild type.
- Intervention effect SWEET17 fructose uptake was insensitive to ATP, NH4Cl and carbonyl cyanide m-chlorophenyl hydrazone.
- Observation SWEET16 was predominantly expressed in root vacuoles.
- Intervention effect SWEET16 mutants had reduced root growth under fructose excess.
- Mechanism Authors infer SWEET17 facilitates bidirectional fructose transport across root tonoplast.
