Gene Details:
- Gene ID: Cla97C02G031010
- Gene Symbol: ClVST1
- Gene Name: vacuolar sugar transporter
- Genome: watermelon genome database
- Species: Citrullus lanatus
Functional Descriptions:
- Report a novel vacuolar sugar transporter (ClVST1) identified through map-based cloning and association study, whose expression in fruit phloem is associated with accumulation of sucrose (Suc) in watermelon fruit.
- ClVST197 knockout lines show decreased sugar content and total biomass, whereas overexpression of ClVST197 increases Suc content.
- Molecular, biochemical and phenotypic analyses indicate that ClVST197 is a novel sugar transporter for Suc and glucose efflux and unloading.
- Functional characterization of ClVST1 provides a novel strategy to increase sugar sink potency during watermelon domestication.
