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 …

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 …

Modern sugarcanes are polyploid interspecific hybrids, combining high sugar content from
Saccharum officinarum with hardiness, disease resistance and ratooning of Saccharum …

Watermelon, Citrullus lanatus, is an important cucurbit crop grown throughout the world.
Here we report a high-quality draft genome sequence of the east Asia watermelon cultivar …

This work reports on the toxicity of CuO nanoparticles (NPs) to maize (Zea mays L.) and their
transport and redistribution in the plant. CuO NPs (100 mg L–1) had no effect on …

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

Drought affects the carbon (C) source and sink activities of plant organs, with potential
consequences for belowground C allocation, a key process of the terrestrial C cycle. The …

The phloem is a central component of the plant's complex vascular system that plays a vital
role in moving photoassimilates from sites of primary acquisition to the heterotrophic tissues …

Raffinose family oligosaccharides (RFOs), the α-galactosyl derivatives of sucrose, are nearly
ubiquitous in Plantae, and they have been demonstrated to play pivotal roles in regulating …

The terrestrial carbon (C) cycle has received increasing interest over the past few decades,
however, there is still a lack of understanding of the fate of newly assimilated C allocated …
