Gene Details:

Functional Descriptions:

  • Comparison of a novel tomato sucrose synthase, SlSUS4, with previously described SlSUS isoforms reveals distinct sequence features and differential expression patterns in association with stem maturation.
  • we report the isolation of a novel tomato SUS (SlSUS) isoform, SlSUS4, that is homologous to potato SUS isoform 1 (StSUS1) and also shows greater homology to SUS isoforms of other plants than to the other tomato SUS isoforms.
  • SlSUS1 and SlSUS4 display reversed expression patterns in developing tomato stem.
  • SlSUS4 is more similar to specific SUS isoforms found in many other plants, including Arabidopsis, alfalfa and even pine, and relatively less similar to the other two SlSUS isoforms.
