Identification of the SWEET gene family and functional characterization of PsSWEET1a and PsSWEET17b in the regulation of sugar accumulation in ‘Fengtang’ plum (Prunus salicina Lindl.)
The genes PsSWEET1a and PsSWEET17b, which regulate the content of soluble sugar in plum fruit, were successfully identified. This study provides a comprehensive insight into the SWEET gene family of plum, offering novel perspectives on the regulation of sugar accumulation in fruit and laying a critical foundation for further enhancement of plum fruit quality.
