Sucrose is the principal product of photosynthesis used for the distribution of assimilated
carbon in plants. Transport mechanisms and efficiency influence photosynthetic productivity …

Sucrose is the primary product of photosynthetic CO2 fixation that is used for the distribution
of assimilated carbon within higher plants. Its partitioning from the site of synthesis to …

Green plants are Earth's primary solar energy collectors. They harvest the energy of the Sun
by converting light energy into chemical energy stored in the bonds of sugar molecules. A …

Abstract The Arabidopsis thaliana (L.) Heynh. SUC 2 gene encodes a plasma-membrane
sucrose-H+ symporter. The DNA sequence of the SUC 2 promoter has been determined …

Plant genetic engineering has contributed substantially to the understanding of gene
regulation and plant development, in the generation of transgenic organisms for widespread …

The proton–sucrose symporter mediates the key transport step in the resource distribution
system that allows many plants to function as multicellular organisms. In the results reported …

Sucrose and its derivatives represent the major transport forms of photosynthetically
assimilated carbon in plants. Sucrose synthesized in green leaves is exported via the …

A new subfamily of sucrose transporters from Arabidopsis (AtSUT4), tomato (LeSUT4), and
potato (StSUT4) was isolated, demonstrating only 47% similarity to the previously …

In plants, sucrose is the major transport form for photoassimilated carbon and is both a
source of carbon skeletons and energy for plant organs unable to perform photosynthesis …

In most plants, sucrose is exported from source leaves to carbon-importing sink tissues to
sustain their growth and metabolism. Apoplastic phloem-loading species require sucrose …
