The authors show that the patatin promoter is induced by hexose uptake. Further metabolism is not required. The patatin promoter fused to a reporter gene is used to identify mutants that have a reduced sugar responsiveness. In these mutants sucrose is not an effective inducer of the patatin promoter.
