Abstract
âºA sugarcane disease was detected in Hawaii in the 1990s, which is caused by the phloem-located Sugarcane yellow leaf virus (SCYLV). âºThe sucrose transporter was isolated from a Hawaiian cultivar and its distribution in the plant was determined. âºThe transporter belongs to the SUT1 group. âºIt is expressed in leaves and stem internodes, in the latter the transcript levels increase during maturation and sucrose storage. âºNo significant differences of transcript levels were found between SCYLV-infected and virus-free sugarcane. âºTherefore the previously reported reduction of assimilate export in SCYLV-infected plants cannot be attributed to a reduction of sucrose transporter expression.
