Careful cutting of the hypocotyl of Ricinus communis L. seedlings led to the exudation of pure sieve-tube sap for 2—3 h. This offered the possibility of testing the phloem-loading system qualitatively ...

Sucrose is taken up and accumulated by cotyledons of Ricinus communis L. Autoradiographic studies reveal a predominant accumulation of sucrose in the phloem of the cotyledons. The export of sucrose ...

Sucrose is a vital energy source in plants. It also drives growth and serves as an important signaling molecule during stress and development. Sucrose is a key product of photosynthesis and the ...

A research team identified SlSWEET10a (Sugars Will Eventually be Exported Transporter 10a) as a plasma-localized sucrose transporter that interacts with SlSWEET14, playing a crucial role in regulating ...

A tiny region at the root tip has been found to be responsible for orchestrating the growth and development of the complex network of vascular tissues that transport sugars through plant roots. A tiny ...

Needle-type biosensor enables real-time tracking of sugar dynamics in living plants, revealing light-dependent stomatal uptake of sucrose Sucrose is a vital energy source in plants. It also drives ...
