SH1-dependent maize seed development and starch synthesis via modulating carbohydrate flow and osmotic potential balance

Abstract Background As the main form of photoassimilates transported from vegetative tissues to the reproductive organs, sucrose and its degradation products are crucial for cell fate determination and development of maize kernels. Despite the relevance of sucrose synthase SH1 (shrunken 1)-mediated...
