Sucrose is produced in, and translocated from, photosynthetically active leaves (sources) to support non-photosynthetic tissues (sinks), such as developing seeds, fruits, and tubers. Different plants ...
High levels of mRNA for the sucrose-H + symporter PmSUC2 have been found in the vascular bundles of petioles from Plantago major. The possible role of PmSUC2 in phloem loading was studied with ...
Vascular pathways consisting of interconnected cells act as a system for the transport of carbohydrates in plants. Phloem, the tissue that carries the nutrients, consists of, among other things, the ...
