Source-to-sink transport of sugar is one of the major determinants of plant growth and relies
on the efficient and controlled distribution of sucrose (and some other sugars such as …

Wine is made up of more than one thousand compounds, the majority of which, such as
vitamins and minerals, come from the grapes, while others, like ethanol and glycerol, are …

During plant development, sugar export is determinant in multiple processes such as nectar
production, pollen development and long-distance sucrose transport. The plant SWEET …

In order to ensure their physiological and cellular functions, plasma membrane (PM)
proteins must be properly conveyed from their site of synthesis, ie, the endoplasmic …

Botrytis cinerea is the causing agent of the grey mold disease in more than 200 crop
species. While signaling pathways leading to the basal resistance against this fungus are …

The main objective of this work was to identify and classify genes involved in the process of
leaf abscission in Clementina de Nules (Citrus clementina Hort. Ex Tan.). A 7 K unigene …

The newly-identified SWEETs are high-capacity, low-affinity sugar transporters with
important roles in numerous physiological mechanisms where sugar efflux is critical …

Cell wall invertases (CWIN) cleave sucrose into glucose and fructose in the apoplast. CWINs
are key regulators of carbon partitioning and source/sink relationships during growth …

Grape (Vitis vinifera) heterotrophic suspension-cultured cells were used as a model system
to study glucose (Glc) transport and its regulation. Cells transported d-[14C] Glc according to …

Mannitol is one of the primary photosynthetic products and the major phloem-translocated
carbohydrate in Olea europaea L., an important crop in the Mediterranean basin. Uptake of …
