Gene Details:

• Gene ID: Zm00001eb259340
• Gene Symbol: ZmSUT4
• Gene Name: sucrose transporter4
• Genome: Zm-B73-REFERENCE-NAM-5.0
• Species: Zea mays

Functional Descriptions:

• ZmSWEET14a/15a and ZmSUT4 are responsible for sucrose transport from the periembryonic region (endosperm) to the embryo, respectively.
• ZmSUT4 was constitutively expressed throughout the growth period of grain, but the temporal expression of ZmSTP4 and ZmSWEET6b was not observed.
• ZmSWEET14a/15a may be responsible for efflux of sucrose from the ESR, followed by uptake into embryos by ZmSUT4.
