Gene Details:

• Gene ID: Zm00001eb408900
• Gene Symbol: ZmSWEET13b ZmSWEET18 ZmSWEET19
• Gene Name: sugars will eventually be exported transporter13b
• Genome: Zm-B73-REFERENCE-NAM-5.0
• Species: Zea mays

Functional Descriptions:

• The sucrose transporter ZmSWEET11/13b transponds sucrose from PC to the extravasal space at the mother-offspring junction, and BETL then absorbs the sugar from the extravasal space through two pathways.
• Sucrose absorption is driven by sucrose transporters ZmSUT1 and ZmSWEET11/13a
• ZmSWEET11/13b in the placento-chalazal zone, where sucrose is exported into the apoplasmic space.
