Single-cell RNA sequencing technology provides unprecedented opportunities to capture the spatiotemporal aspects of genetic programs that drive cell differentiation.Phloem is a subtype of vascular tissue that is cruci...

During plant growth and development mineral elements are preferentially delivered to different organs and tissues to meet the differential demand. It has been shown that the preferential distribution of mineral nutrie...
In the phloem cap region o i Arabidopsis plants,sulfur-rich cells(S-cells)accumulate>100 mM glucosinolates(GLS),but are biosynthetically inactive.The source and route of S-cell-bound GLS remain elusive.In this study,u...
Multicellular organisms rely on the movement of signaling molecules across cells,tissues,and organs to communicate among distal sites.In plants,localized leaf damage activates jasmonic acid(JA)-dependent transcription...
To sustain plant growth,development,and crop yield,sucrose must be transported from leaves to distant parts of the plant,such as seeds and roots.To identify genes that regulate sucrose accumulation and transport in ma...
Sucrose is the principal product of photosynthesis used for the distribution of assimilated carbon in plants. Transport mechanisms and efficiency influence photosynthetic productivity by relieving product inhibition a...
The majority of higher plants use sucrose as their main mobile carbohydrate. Proton-driven sucrose trans- porters play a crucial role in cell-to-cell and long-distance distribution of sucrose throughout the plant. A v...
The plant sucrose transporter SUT1 (from Solanum tuberosum, S. lycopersicum, or Zea mays) exhibits redoxdependent dimerization and targeting if heterologously expressed in S. cerevisiae (Krtigel et al., 2008). It ...
