Gene Details:

• Gene ID: Gorai.005G195100
• Gene Symbol: GhSWEET12
• Gene Name:
• Genome: TM1_NBI
• Species: Gossypium hirsutum

Functional Descriptions:

• RNA-seq and protein−DNA binding assays revealed that GhMYB212 was closely linked to the pathways of sucrose and starch transportation and metabolism, directly controling the expression of a sucrose transporter gene GhSWEET12.
• GhSWEET12 RNAi plants (GhSWEET12i) possessed similar fiber phenotypes to those of GhMYB212i. Exogenous sucrose supplementation in ovule cultures did not rescue the shorter fiber phenotype of GhMYB212i and GhSWEET12i.
• The internal molecular connections between the sucrose transporting activity of GhSWEET12 for promoting cell expansion, the sucrose contents in fiber cells at different developing phases and cotton fiber phenotypes.
• Current investigations support the idea that GhMYB212 functions as the main regulator of fiber elongation by controlling the expression of GhSWEET12, and therefore it is important to study cell expansion and sugar transportation during seed development.
