Transcriptome and selected metabolite analyses reveal points of sugar metabolism in the developing leaves of kiwifruit

In fruit crops, sugars are essential metabolites, that are produced in leaves and subsequently transported to fruits. However, the sugar levels, gene expression patterns, and sucrose-metabolizing enzyme activities in the leaves of kiwifruit remain poorly understood. In this study, the Illumina NovaS...
