The invention is directed to fructose sensing and signaling mechanisms in plants for improving plant properties. In particular, the invention concerns a vector or mobile genetic element, comprising a nucleic acid molecule, wherein the nucleic acid molecule encodes a tonoplast proton-fructose symporter. Further the invention concerns a host cell, a plant, a seed, a method of producing a plant, a method of increasing the yield of a plant storage compound, a method of increasing drought tolerance in plants, use of a tonoplast proton-fructose symporter in a plant to increase the concentration of a plant storage compound or a method of selecting a plant with increased fructose levels.
A vector or mobile genetic element, comprising a nucleic acid molecule, wherein the nucleic acid molecule encodes a tonoplast proton-fructose symporter and wherein the nucleic acid molecule is selected from the group consisting of:
