The invention relates to tonoplast proton/sugar antiporter proteins, more particularly tonoplast proton/saccharose antiporter proteins, the nucleotide sequences which encode them and uses thereof for producing transgenic plants with an increased saccharose concentration. The invention also includes methods for producing transgenic plants with an increased saccharose concentration, methods for increasing the saccharose concentration in plants, and for identifying plants which are suitable for creating a higher saccharose concentration. 本发明涉及液泡膜质子/糖逆向转运蛋白，更特别地涉及液泡膜质子/蔗糖逆向转运蛋白、编码其的核苷酸序列及其用于产生蔗糖浓度增加的转基因植物的用途。本发明还包括产生蔗糖浓度增加的转基因植物的方法，增加植物中蔗糖浓度的方法，及鉴别适于产生更高蔗糖浓度的植物的方法。
