Plants have evolved a multitude of strategies to adjust their growth according to external and
internal signals. Interconnected metabolic and phytohormonal signalling networks allow …

Raffinose family oligosaccharides (RFOs), the α-galactosyl derivatives of sucrose, are nearly
ubiquitous in Plantae, and they have been demonstrated to play pivotal roles in regulating …

Develo** seed depends on sugar supply for its growth and yield formation. Maize (Zea
mays L.) produces the largest grains among cereals. However, there is a lack of holistic …

Vegetative propagation (VP) is an important practice for production in many horticultural
plants. Sugar supply constitutes the basis of VP in bulb flowers, but the underlying molecular …

In the fleshy fruit of cucumbers (Cucumis sativus L.), the phloem flow is unloaded via an
apoplasmic pathway, which requires protein carriers to export sugars derived from …

Sugars are necessary for plant growth and fruit development. Cucumber (Cucumis sativus
L.) transports sugars, mainly raffinose family oligosaccharides (RFOs), in the vascular …

In grapevines, as in other plants, sucrose and its constituents glucose and fructose are
fundamentally important and carry out a multitude of roles. The aims of this review are three …

Phloem plays a central role in assimilate transport as well as in the transport of several
secondary compounds. In order to study the chemical composition of phloem sap, different …

Soluble sugars and organic acids are mainly decisive factor of flavor quality in tomato.
Potassium (K), an essential macroelement, plays key roles in regulation of plant growth …

Cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) predominantly translocates raffinose family
oligosaccharides (RFOs) in the phloem and accumulates RFOs in leaves. Galactinol …
