Sucrose is transported from sources (mature leaves) to sinks (importing tissues such as
roots, stems, fruits, and seeds) through the phloem tissues in veins. In many herbaceous …

The flux, distribution, and storage of soluble sugars regulate crop yield in terms of starch, oil,
protein, and total carbohydrates, and affect the quality of many horticultural products. Sugar …

The content of organic acids greatly influences the taste and storage life of fleshy fruit. Our
current understanding of the molecular mechanism of organic acid accumulation in apple …

Fruit sweetness is determined by the amount and composition of sugars in the edible flesh.
The accumulation of sugar is a highly orchestrated process that requires coordination of …

Soluble sugars are the core components of fruit quality, and the degree of sugar
accumulation is largely determined by tonoplast-localized sugar transporters. We previously …

Sugar and anthocyanin are important indicators of fruit quality, and understanding the
mechanism underlying their accumulation is essential for breeding high‐quality fruit. We …

Heat stress severely restricts the growth and fruit development of apple (Malus domestica).
Little is known about the involvement of WRKY proteins in the heat tolerance mechanism in …

ERFs (ethylene‐responsive factors) are known to play a key role in orchestrating cold stress
signal transduction. However, the regulatory mechanisms and target genes of most ERFs …

It has been increasingly recognized that CWIN (cell wall invertase) and sugar transporters
including STP (sugar transport protein) and SWEET (sugar will eventually be exported …

Enhancing fruit sugar contents, especially for high-flavonoid apples with a sour taste, is one
of the main goals of horticultural crop breeders. This study analyzed sugar accumulation and …
