Abstract

Carbohydrate partitioning and intracellular sugar transport are central to plant energy management, stress adaptation, and storage metabolism. In fructan-accumulating species such as Cichorium intybus, however, the underlying transport processes remain poorly understood. Because fructan metabolism occurs in the vacuole, coordinated regulation of tonoplast transporters and fructan-metabolizing enzy…
