Analysis of the diversity and tissue specificity of sucrose synthase genes in the long read transcriptome of sugarcane

Abstract Background Sugarcane accumulates very high levels of sucrose in the culm. Elucidation of the molecular mechanisms that allows such high sucrose synthesis and accumulation (up to 650 mM) is made difficult by the complexity of the highly polyploid genome. Here we report the use of RNA Seq dat...
