Crop yield is dependent on the efficient partitioning of sucrose from leaf to grain. In Arabidopsis, phloem loading (Phloem Loading) sucrose stream by SWEET (SWEET Sucrose Effluxers) and consequent SUT1 / SUC2 sucrose / H + cotransporter with the completion. ZmSUT1 is critical for the carbon partitioning of corn, but its contribution to the recovery of sucrose loss from the phloem loading of the apoplast and the translocation pathway remains unclear. Therefore, the researchers examined the importance of SWEETs in corn for phloem loading.
The researchers identified three leaf-expressing SWEET sucrose transporters that play an important role in the phloem loading of the apoplastic body. In particular, the ZmSWEET13 paralog ( a , b , c ) is one of the genes with the highest expression in the leaf vasculature. After genome editing, the mutants after the three gene knockouts were significantly stunted.
Differences in growth and development (such as plant height) and ZmSWEETs expression between wild-type and mutant plants
To quantitatively assess the damage of mutants in photosynthesis, the researchers used the LI-6800 photosynthetic fluorescence automated measurement system to evaluate differences in photosynthetic rates between wild-type and mutant maize plants. The experiment was carried out under greenhouse conditions: temperature 28 ° C ; photosynthetically active radiation 1000 μmol/m 2 /s ; relative humidity 60% .

As a result, it was found that the photosynthesis of the mutant was impaired, and the leaves accumulated starch and soluble sugar. Transcriptome sequencing ( RNA-seq ) revealed significant mutations in the mutants associated with genes involved in photosynthetic organs and carbohydrate metabolism. GWAS analysis indicated that the ZmSWEET13s paralogs were related to the agronomic traits of crops, especially affecting flowering time and leaf angle.
Differences between wild-type and mutant plants in leaf starch and soluble sugar accumulation
Experiments confirmed that ZmSWEET13 paralogs ( a , b , c ) and ZmSUT1 cooperated during phloem loading. Researchers believe that when trying to increase crop yields through bioengineering measures, they can be used as key candidates.
