Abstract:
Although maize ( Zea mays L.) produces the largest grain among cereals through a small ‘gateway’ for assimilates, indicating a strong sink capacity, there is a lack of holistic understanding of the molecular basis underlying sugar import into the grains. Here, we uncovered a cohort of key genes controlling sugar delivery to the endosperm and embryo and further found that drought repressed those genes exporting sucrose into the apoplasmic space but enhanced those genes involved in uptake of sugars by the filial tissues.
