Colonization of the land by plants some 400 million years ago was associated with the
colonization of their primitive roots by soil-borne filamentous fungi (Nicolson, 1975; Simon et …

Soil respiration (Rs) is the second largest carbon flux next to GPP between the terrestrial
ecosystem (the largest organic carbon pool) and the atmosphere at a global scale. Given …

▪ Abstract The transport events from the sieve elements to the sites of utilization within the
recipient sink cells contribute to phloem unloading. The phenomenon links sink metabolism …

A max, maximum CO2 assimilation rate CAB, genes encoding chlorophyll a/b binding
proteins Ci, intercellular CO2 concentration PGK, the gene encoding 3‐phosphoglycerate …

▪ Abstract Arbuscular mycorrhizae are symbiotic associations formed between a wide range
of plant species including angiosperms, gymnosperms, pteridophytes, and some …

In plants, sucrose is the major transport form for photoassimilated carbon and is both a
source of carbon skeletons and energy for plant organs unable to perform photosynthesis …

Transfer cells are plant cells with secondary wall ingrowths. These cells are ubiquitous,
occurring in all plant taxonomic groups and in algae and fungi. Transfer cells form from …

Polyclonal antisera against a fusion protein of β‐galactosidase and the 20 C‐terminal amino
acids of the Arabidopsis thaliana sucrose carrier AtSUC2 were used to determine the …

To analyze sugar transport processes during seed development of fava bean, we cloned
cDNAs encoding one sucrose and one hexose transporter, designated VfSUT1 and VfSTP1 …

Identification and characterization of anion channel genes in plants represent a goal for a
better understanding of their central role in cell signaling, osmoregulation, nutrition, and …
