The regulation of sugar metabolism and partitioning plays an essential role for a plant’s acclimation to its environment, with specific responses in autotrophic and heterotrophic organs. In this work, we analyzed the effects of high salinity on sugar partitioning and vascular anatomy within the floral stem. Stem sucrose and fructose content increased, while starch reduced, in contrast to the response observed in rosette leaves of the same plants. In the stem, the effects were associated with changes in the expression of SWEET and TMT2 genes encoding sugar transporters, SUSY1 encoding a sucrose synthase and several FRK encoding fructokinases. By contrast, the expression of SUC2, SWEET11 and SWEET12, encoding sugar transporters for phloem loading, remained unchanged in the stem. Both the anatomy of vascular tissues and the composition of xylem secondary cell walls were altered, suggesting that high salinity triggered major readjustments of sugar partitioning in this heterotrophic organ. There were changes in the composition of xylem cell walls, associated with the collapse and deformation of xylem vessels. The data are discussed regarding sugar partitioning and homeostasis of sugars in the vascular tissues of the stem.
