<span>SWEET1</span> ‐mediated glucose transport is crucial for energy availability in <i>Arabidopsis</i> Open
Summary The stress‐responsive hormone abscisic acid (ABA) is known for its inhibitory effects on various physiological processes, including seed germination, often resulting in energy deprivation. Interestingly, ABA‐induced germination inh…

SWEET family transporters act as water conducting carrier proteins in plants Open
Dedicated water channels are involved in the facilitated diffusion of water molecules across the cell membrane in plants. Transporter proteins are also known to transport water molecules along with substrates, however the molecular mechani…

Sugar accumulation enhancement in sorghum stem is associated with reduced reproductive sink strength and increased phloem unloading activity Open
Sweet sorghum has emerged as a promising source of bioenergy mainly due to its high biomass and high soluble sugar yield in stems. Studies have shown that loss-of-function Dry locus alleles have been selected during sweet sorghum domestica…

A Highly Contiguous and Annotated Genome Assembly of the Lesser Prairie-Chicken (<i>Tympanuchus pallidicinctus</i>) Open
The Lesser Prairie-Chicken (Tympanuchus pallidicinctus; LEPC) is an iconic North American prairie grouse, renowned for ornate and spectacular breeding season displays. Unfortunately, the species has disappeared across much of its historica…

Hexose transporter SWEET5 confers galactose sensitivity to Arabidopsis pollen germination via a galactokinase Open
Galactose is an abundant and essential sugar used for the biosynthesis of many macromolecules in different organisms, including plants. Galactose metabolism is tightly and finely controlled, since excess galactose and its derivatives are i…

Locally restricted glucose availability in the embryonic hypocotyl determines seed germination under ABA treatment Open
Summary Abiotic stresses directly affect seed germination, plant growth, and reproduction. Seed germination is a complex and energy-demanding process, involving diverse physical, metabolic and cellular events, and is controlled by intrinsi…

A Subsidiary Cell-Localized Glucose Transporter Promotes Stomatal Conductance and Photosynthesis Open
It has long been recognized that stomatal movement modulates CO2 availability and as a consequence the photosynthetic rate of plants, and that this process is feedback-regulated by photoassimilates. However, the genetic componen…

The Arabidopsis vacuolar sugar transporter <span>SWEET</span>2 limits carbon sequestration from roots and restricts <i>Pythium</i> infection Open
Summary Plant roots secrete a significant portion of their assimilated carbon into the rhizosphere. The putative sugar transporter SWEET 2 is highly expressed in Arabidopsis roots. Expression patterns of SWEET 2–β‐glucuronidase fusions con…
