This study establishes a systematic genomic framework and identifies candidate functional transporters that govern sugar partitioning and storage, providing valuable genetic targets for molecular breeding and quality enhancement in sugarcane.
First comprehensive characterization of the RLCK gene family in sugarcane is presented, elucidating its evolutionary features, expression dynamics and functional roles, and providing compelling evidence that ScRLCK53 modulates salt tolerance through activation of the JA signaling pathway.

It is suggested that sucrose transport to sink organs may be facilitated by increased expression of the bidirectional sugar transporter SWEET14, and sucrose may be hydrolyzed by β-fructofuranosidase, potentially providing energy for plant growth on one hand and contributing to fructose accumulation on the other.

Soluble sugars constitute one of the key quality-determining traits of litchifruit and contribute substantially to flavour formation. 'Heli' (HL) is a traditional litchi cultivar, and its bud mutant 'Dongtianxianli' (DTXL) displays brighter fruit colour, higher soluble-sugar content and lower acidity. To dissect the mo...
