Fig. 4From: Characterization of a vacuolar sucrose transporter, HbSUT5, from Hevea brasiliensis: involvement in latex production through regulation of intracellular sucrose transport in the bark and laticifersHbSUT5 influences the sucrose content. a. The expression of HbSUT5 was examined in the latex and bark tissues after 1% ethephon bark treatment of regularly tapped rubber trees. b. The sucrose content was measured between cytosol (C-serum) and lutoid (B-serum) at 24 h after 1% ethephon treatment.
