Leaf senescence, the last stage of leaf development, is a type of postmitotic senescence and
is characterized by the functional transition from nutrient assimilation to nutrient …

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

Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is a staple food crop, feeding more than 50% of the world's population.
Diseases caused by bacterial, fungal, and viral pathogens constantly threaten the rice …

The SWEET (sugars will eventually be exported transporter) family was identified as a new
class of sugar transporters that function as bidirectional uniporters/facilitators and facilitate …

Sugar efflux transporters are essential for the maintenance of animal blood glucose levels,
plant nectar production, and plant seed and pollen development. Despite broad biological …

Developing plant embryos depend on nutrition from maternal tissues via the seed coat and
endosperm, but the mechanisms that supply nutrients to plant embryos have remained …

The WRKY proteins are a superfamily of transcription factors with up to 100 representatives
in Arabidopsis. Family members appear to be involved in the regulation of various physio …

Background The phytohormone auxin is critical for plant growth and orchestrates many
developmental processes.• Scope This review considers the complex array of mechanisms …

Leaf senescence constitutes the final stage of leaf development and is critical for plants'
fitness as nutrient relocation from leaves to reproducing seeds is achieved through this …

Bacterial plant‐pathogenic Xanthomonas strains translocate transcription activator‐like
(TAL) effectors into plant cells to function as specific transcription factors. Only a few plant …
