Overexpression of OsSWEET5 in rice causes growth retardation and precocious senescence.

Overexpression of OsSWEET5 in rice causes growth retardation and precocious senescence.

As a novel sugar transporter family, SWEETs play important roles in plant growth and development. Here, we characterized a SWEET gene named OsSWEET5 through its overexpression in rice. Heterologous expression assay indicated that OsSWEET5 encoded a galactose transporter in yeast. OsSWEET5-overexpres...
