Vascular plants contain two gene families that encode monosaccharide transporter proteins.
The classical monosaccharide transporter (-like) gene superfamily is large and functionally …

The availability of complete plant genomes has greatly influenced the identification and
analysis of phylogenetically related gene clusters. In Arabidopsis, this has revealed the …

In flowering plants, sink tissues rely on transport of carbohydrates from photosynthetic
tissues (sources) for nutrition and energy. However, how sugar partitioning in plants is …

Abstract The Major Facilitator Superfamily (MFS) is ubiquitous in living organisms and
represents the largest group of secondary active membrane transporters. In plants …

Seed and Fruit Set | Plant Physiology | Oxford Academic Skip to Main Content Advertisement …

Male fertility depends on the proper development of the male gametophyte, successful
pollen germination, tube growth, and delivery of the sperm cells to the ovule. Previous …

The mobility of sugars between source and sink tissues in plants depends on sugar
transport proteins. Studying the corresponding genes allows the manipulation of the sink …

Abstract Three hexose transporters (VvHT3, VvHT4, and VvHT5) were cloned from Vitis
vinifera L. and functionally characterized in the hexose transport-impaired Saccharomyces …

Abstract The Arabidopsis sugar transporter (AtSTP) family is one of the best characterised
families within the monosaccharide transporter (MST)‐like genes. However, several aspects …

As a novel sugar transporter family, SWEETs play important roles in plant growth and
development. Here, we characterized a SWEET gene named OsSWEET5 through its …
