Integrated transcriptome and metabolome analysis reveals key genes and metabolic pathways regulating growth and development in Polygonatum cyrtonema Hua
It is suggested that sucrose transport to sink organs may be facilitated by increased expression of the bidirectional sugar transporter SWEET14, and sucrose may be hydrolyzed by β-fructofuranosidase, potentially providing energy for plant growth on one hand and contributing to fructose accumulation on the other.
