Gene Details:

• Gene ID:
• Gene Symbol: CmTST2
• Gene Name: tonoplast sugar transporter2
• Genome:
• Species: Cucumis melo

Functional Descriptions:

• Overexpression of the tonoplast sugar transporter CmTST2 in melon fruit increases sugar accumulation.
• Overexpressing the CmTST2 gene in strawberry fruit and cucumber plants by transient expression and stable transformation, respectively, both increased sucrose, fructose, and glucose accumulation in the fruit.
• The CmTST2-overexpression construct was transformed into strawberry fruit and cucumber plants to identify the physiological roles of CmTST2 in plants.
• The results indicate that CmTST2 plays an important role in sugar accumulation in melon fruit.
