Magnesium (Mg) deficiency exerts a major influence on the partitioning of dry matter and
carbohydrates between shoots and roots. One of the very early reactions of plants to Mg …

Sucrose is required for plant growth and development. The sugar status of plant cells is
sensed by sensor proteins. The signal generated by signal transduction cascades, which …

Beneficial rhizobacteria promote plant growth and protect plants against phytopathogens.
Effective colonization on plant roots is critical for the rhizobacteria to exert beneficial …

Contamination of agricultural soil by arsenic (As) is a serious menace to environmental
safety and global food security. Symbiotic plant–microbe interaction, such as arbuscular …

A max, maximum CO2 assimilation rate CAB, genes encoding chlorophyll a/b binding
proteins Ci, intercellular CO2 concentration PGK, the gene encoding 3‐phosphoglycerate …

The proton-pum** ATPase (H+-ATPase) of the plant plasma membrane generates the
proton motive force across the plasma membrane that is necessary to activate most of the …

▪ Abstract Sugars and amino acids are generated in plants by assimilation from inorganic
forms. Assimilated forms cross multiple membranes on their way from production sites to …

A major question in plant physiology is how the large amount of sucrose made in leaves is
transported to the rest of the plant. Although physiological, biochemical, and anatomical …

Abstract Sucrose synthase (SuSy, EC 2.4. 1.13) is a glycosyltransferase (GT) long known
from plants and more recently discovered in bacteria. The enzyme catalyzes the reversible …

In this paper we report the identification, cloning and expression analysis of four putative
sucrose transporter (SUT) genes from rice, designated OsSUT2, 3, 4 and 5. Three of the four …
