TMT1 — Beta vulgaris subsp. vulgaris
Summary
BvTMT1 (BVRB_1G014090) on sugar beet chromosome 1 encodes a protein with domains including Myo-inositol Transporter, Sugar/inositol_transpt, Sugar_transporter_CS, MFS_sugar_transport-like, MFS_dom, and MFS_trans_sf, and is annotated with monosaccharide transmembrane transporter activity, symporter activity, and nucleoside transmembrane transporter activity. The gene is associated with sucrose transport, responses to fructose, glucose, sucrose, salt, cold, and nematodes, as well as chlorophyll and terpenoid anabolism, the MEP pathway, and lateral root formation. It has been linked to seed yield, seed size, seed protein and lipid content, vacuolar monosaccharide transport, plant growth rate, and substantial reductions in leaf glucose and fructose content under cold treatment. Associations also include drought tolerance, photosynthetic rate, root length, variegated leaf, chloroplast development, carotenoid content, and diterpenoid production. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to vacuolar sugar accumulation and glucose import, as well as starch and reducing sugar dynamics.
