Sucrose is transported from sources (mature leaves) to sinks (importing tissues such as
roots, stems, fruits, and seeds) through the phloem tissues in veins. In many herbaceous …

Photosynthetic carbon converted to sucrose is vital for plant growth. Sucrose acts as a
signaling molecule and a primary energy source that coordinates the source and sink …

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 …

Source-to-sink transport of sugar is one of the major determinants of plant growth and relies
on the efficient and controlled distribution of sucrose (and some other sugars such as …

Cellular sugar status is essentially maintained during normal growth conditions but is
impacted negatively during various environmental perturbations. Drought presents one such …

Sucrose is produced in, and translocated from, photosynthetically active leaves (sources) to
support non-photosynthetic tissues (sinks), such as develo** seeds, fruits, and tubers …

Many intercellular solute transport processes require an apoplasmic step, that is, efflux from
one cell and subsequent uptake by an adjacent cell. Cellular uptake transporters have been …

Recent developments have altered our view of molecular mechanisms that determine sink
strength, defined here as the capacity of non-photosynthetic structures to compete for import …
