referenceSucrose synthase, encoded by genes VvSWEET10, VvSUC11, and VvSUS4, is located in the cytoplasm and mitochondria and catalyzes the conversion of sucrose to UDP-glucose and fructose, a process promoted by red light.
claimRed light promotes radial elongation, increases stomatal density, and increases glucose, sucrose, fructose, and starch content in leaves, as well as cellulose content in stems in cassava (Zhou et al., 2023).
referenceInvertase, encoded by INVs genes, is located in the cytoplasm and vacuole and catalyzes the conversion of sucrose to glucose, a process promoted by red light.
claimIn grape skins, where fructose, glucose, and sucrose are the primary sugars, blue light treatment results in the highest total sugar content, followed by red light treatment, according to Kondo et al. (2014).
