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 …

Cotton is one of the major cash crops globally. It is characterized by determinate growth and
multiple fruiting, which makes the source–sink contradiction more obvious. Coordination …

Growth and productivity of plants primarily depend on the balanced distribution of carbon (C)
and nitrogen (N) among different organs. Previous studies on crop improvement have …

Phloem loading and transport of sugar from leaves to sink tissues such as fruits are crucial
for yield formation. Camellia oleifera is an evergreen horticultural crop with high value; …

Cotton fiber yield depends on the density of fiber cell initials that form on the ovule
epidermis. Fiber initiation is triggered by MYB-MIXTA-like transcription factors (GhMMLs) …

Sapindaceae is an economically important family of Sapindales and includes many fruit
crops. The dominant transport and storage form of photoassimilates in higher plants is …

Sucrose is the main transported form of photosynthetic products. Sucrose transporter (SUT)
participates in the translocation of sucrose from source to sink, which is important for the …

The allocation of photoassimilates is considered as a key factor for determining plant
productivity. The difference in photosynthesis and carbohydrate metabolism between source …

Cotton seed development and fiber elongation are the inseparable and overlapped
development processes requiring the continuous supply of sucrose as the direct carbon …

The rate of sucrose export from leaves is a major factor in balancing whole‐plant carbon and
energy partitioning. A comprehensive study of its dynamics and relationship to …
