  • TONOPLAST PROTON/SUGAR ANTIPORTER PROTEINS AND THE USE THEREOF TO INCREASE THE SACCHAROSE CONCENTRATION IN A SACCHAROSE STORAGE ORGAN OF PLANTS
    Publication number: 20210238620
    Abstract: The invention relates to tonoplast proton/sugar antiporter proteins, more particularly tonoplast proton/saccharose antiporter proteins, the nucleotide sequences which encode them and uses thereof for producing transgenic plants with an increased saccharose concentration. The invention also includes methods for producing transgenic plants with an increased saccharose concentration, methods for increasing the saccharose concentration in plants, and for identifying plants which are suitable for creating a higher saccharose concentration.
    Type: Application
    Filed: March 8, 2021
