Major facility superfamily sugar transporter protein <i>SsMFSST1</i> regulates <i>Sporisorium scitamineum</i> mating, pathogenicity, and sugar transport/absorption.

ABSTRACT: Sugarcane smut caused by Sporisorium scitamineum is a global sugarcane disease, and studying its molecular pathogenesis is crucial for discovering new prevention and control targets. This study was based on the transcriptome sequencing data of two isolates with different pathogenicities (Ss16 and Ss47) of the S. scitamineum and screened out a gene encoding the Major Facility Superfamily (MFS) sugar transporter protein and named it SsMFSST1. Knockout mutants (∆SsMFSST1⁺ and ∆SsMFSST1^-) and complementary mutants (COMMFSST1⁺ and COMMFSST1^-) were obtained through polyethylene glycol (PEG)-mediated protoplast transformation technology. On this basis, the function of gene SsMFSST1 wa
