Being rooted in place, plants are faced with the challenge of responding to unfavourable
local conditions. One such condition, heat stress, contributes massively to crop losses …

Highlights•SWEETs are small transporters for sugars undergoing multiple conformational
states during transport cycle.•SWEET9 mediates nectar secretion.•A SWEET–SUT pair …

Copper (Cu) is an essential micronutrient for humans, animals, and plants, and it
participates in various morphological, physiological, and biochemical processes. Cu is a …

Proline fulfils diverse functions in plants. As amino acid it is a structural component of
proteins, but it also plays a role as compatible solute under environmental stress conditions …

Pollen germination, along with pollen tube growth, is an essential process for the
reproduction of flowering plants. The germinating pollen with tip-growth characteristics …

Chemiosmotic circuits of plant cells are driven by proton (H+) gradients that mediate
secondary active transport of compounds across plasma and endosomal membranes …

Plant growth, productivity, and seed yield depend on the efficient uptake, metabolism, and
allocation of nutrients. Nitrogen is an essential macronutrient needed in high amounts …

Plants remodel their cells through the dynamic endomembrane system. Intracellular pH is
important for membrane trafficking, but the determinants of pH homeostasis are poorly …

ABSTRACT The MtN3/saliva/SWEET-type genes, existing either alone or in a family group,
are found in diverse organisms, from monocellular protozoa to higher eukaryotes, indicating …

Pollen tubes extend through pistil tissues and are guided to ovules where they release
sperm for fertilization. Although pollen tubes can germinate and elongate in a synthetic …
