Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention belongs to the field of biotechnology, and particularly relates to a novel watermelon sugar transporter and its encoding gene CLVST1 and application. Background technique
[0002] The sugar produced by photosynthesis in watermelon leaves is transported to the fruit through the stem phloem. In the fruit, it needs to go through four steps of metabolism, unloading, transport and storage, that is, oligosaccharides such as raffinose are hydrolyzed into sucrose, the phloem of the fruit unloads the sucrose, and the sugar in the intercellular space is composed of Sugar transport proteins are transported into pulp cells and ultimately store sugar in pulp cell vacuoles. The novel sugar transporter CLVST1 is a key factor regulating fruit sugar unloading, that is, a key gene that plays a role in the second link unloading. "
[0003] Watermelon (Citullus lanatus (Thunb.) Matsum & Nadai) is an important horticultural crop in the world. my country's w...
