Gene Details:

• Gene ID: Solyc04g076960
• Gene Symbol: SlSUT4
• Gene Name: Sucrose transporter 4
• Genome: Tomato Genome version SL4.0
• Species: Solanum lycopersicum

Functional Descriptions:

• Tomato sucrose transporter SlSUT4 participates in flowering regulation by modulating gibberellin biosynthesis.
• The function of tomato SlSUT4 in the regulation of flowering using a combination of molecular and physiological analyses.
• SlSUT4 displayed transport activity for sucrose when expressed in yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae), and it localized at both the plasma membrane and tonoplast.
• Sucrose transporter gene SlSUT4 modulates sucrose subcellular compartmentation and affects responses of plants to drought stress.
• Overexpressing SlSUT4 decreased drought tolerance of tomato plants.
• Silencing SlSUT4 increased the sucrose proportion in the vacuole.
• Overexpressing SlSUT4 increased the sucrose proportion in the cytosol.
