ABSTRACTDuring vegetative growth, biennial sugar beets maintain a steep gradient between the shoot (source) and the sucrose-storing taproot (sink). To shift from vegetative to generative growth, they require a chilling phase, called vernalization. Here, we studied sugar beet sink-source dynamics upon cold temperature-induced vernalization and revealed a pre-flowering taproot sink to source reversal. This transition is induced by transcriptomic and functional reprogramming of sugar beet tissue, resulting in a reversal of flux direction in long distance transport system, the phloem. As a key process for this transition, vacuolar sucrose importers and exporters, BvTST2;1 and BvSUT4, are oppositely regulated, leading to re-mobilization of sugars from taproot storage vacuoles. Concomitant changes in the expression of floral regulator genes suggest that the now deciphered processes are a prerequisite for bolting. Our data may thus serve dissecting metabolic and developmental triggers for bolting, which are potential targets for genome editing or breeding approaches.
