Abstract Sugars Will Eventually be Exported Transporters (SWEETs) have important roles in
numerous physiological mechanisms where sugar efflux is critical, including phloem …

Carbohydrate partitioning is the process of carbon assimilation and distribution from source
tissues, such as leaves, to sink tissues, such as stems, roots and seeds. Sucrose, the …

Key message Present review describes the structure, evolution, transport mechanism and
physiological functions of SWEETs. Their application using TALENs and CRISPR/CAS9 …

Aquaporins (AQPs) are universal membrane integrated water channel proteins that
selectively and reversibly facilitate the movement of water, gases, metalloids, and other …

The primary technical way to increase wheat yield is to increase planting density. However,
the dense planting population has poor stem development quality due to intensified …

Aquaporins (AQPs) are primarily involved in maintaining cellular water homeostasis. Their
role in diverse physiological processes has fascinated plant scientists for more than a …

Impaired carbon metabolism and reproductive development constrain crop productivity
during heat stress. Reproductive development is energy intensive, and its requirement for …

A fundamental limitation of photosynthetic carbon fixation is the availability of CO 2. In C 4
plants, primary carboxylation occurs in mesophyll cytosol, and little is known about the role …

Along with the increase in size required for optimal colonization of terrestrial niches,
channels for bidirectional bulk transport of materials in land plants evolved during a period …
