Leveraging ethnic group incidence variation to investigate genetic susceptibility to glioma: a novel candidate SNP approach.

abstract：:Sucrose transporters (SUTs) play key roles in allocating the translocation of assimilates from source to sink tissues. Although the characteristics and biological roles of SUTs have been intensively investigated in higher plants, this gene family has not been functionally characterized in cotton.
