The SnRK2.3-AREB1-TST1/2 cascade activated by cytosolic glucose regulates sugar accumulation across tonoplasts in apple and tomato

Sugar signalling plays vital roles in cellular function. This study discovered that MdERDL6-mediated glucose elevation in cytosol activates the SnRK2.3-AREB1-TST1/2 cascade to promote sugar accumulation in the vacuoles of apple and tomato fruits.
