Amino acid transporters (AATs) are membrane-bound transport proteins that mediate
transfer of amino acids into and out of cells or cellular organelles. AATs have diverse …

Abstract Sugars Will Eventually be Exported Transporters (SWEETs) have important roles in
numerous physiological mechanisms where sugar efflux is critical, including phloem …

The root: shoot ratio has long been known to be enhanced in plants under drought stress.
Here we discovered that osmotic stress enhances long-distance sucrose transport to …

Cadmium (Cd) accumulation in rice grain poses a serious threat to human health. While
several transport systems have been reported, the complexity of rice Cd transport and …

Carbohydrate import into seeds directly determines seed size and must have been
increased through domestication. However, evidence of the domestication of sugar …

The SWEET (sugars will eventually be exported transporter) family was identified as a new
class of sugar transporters that function as bidirectional uniporters/facilitators and facilitate …

Glucose is the primary fuel to life on earth. Cellular uptake of glucose is a fundamental
process for metabolism, growth, and homeostasis. Three families of secondary glucose …

Soybean accounts for more than half of the global production of oilseed and more than a
quarter of the protein used globally for human food and animal feed. Soybean domestication …

Sugars, especially glucose and fructose, contribute to the taste and quality of tomato fruits.
These compounds are translocated from the leaves to the fruits and then unloaded into the …

Tomato (Solanum lycopersium), an important fruit crop worldwide, requires efficient sugar
allocation for fruit development. However, molecular mechanisms for sugar import to fruits …
