Changes in soluble sugars and the expression of sugar transporter protein genes in strawberry crowns responding to <i>Colletotrichum fructicola</i> infection.

ABSTRACT: Strawberry (Fragaria × ananassa) production has been greatly hampered by anthracnose crown rot caused by Colletotrichum fructicola. Crown, the modified stem of strawberry, is a sink organ involved in sugar allocation. Some Sugar Transport Proteins (STPs) are involved in competition for sugars between pathogen and host. However, the chemical nature and involvement of strawberry STPs (FaSTPs) in crown rot development is largely elusive. To reveal how strawberry alters soluble sugars and upregulates STPs in responses to C. fructicola, high performance liquid chromatograph and FaSTP expression analysis were performed in the crowns of three strawberry varieties, following a genome-wide identification of FaSTPs. Both C. fructicola
