A mutation in amino acid permease AAP6 reduces the amino acid content of the Arabidopsis sieve elements but leaves aphid herbivores unaffected [PDF]
The aim of this study was to investigate the role of the amino acid permease gene AAP6 in regulating phloem amino acid composition and then to determine the effects of this altered diet on aphid performance.

Versatile Approaches to Sugar Amino Acid Building Blocks as Precursors of Glycopeptides
The synthesis of monosaccharide units functionalised with different amino acids is described herein. Sugar amino acid templates linked at position 6 of the sugar were prepared by various nucleophilic substitutions introducing a spacer of ...

The sweet life: diet sugar concentration influences paracellular glucose absorption [PDF]
Small birds and bats face strong selection pressure to digest food rapidly in order to reduce digesta mass carried during flight. One mechanism is rapid absorption of a high proportion of glucose via the paracellular pathway (transfer between epithelial ...

The Effects of Seed Treatment, Sowing date, Cultivar and Harvest date on the Yield and Quality of Sugar Beet [PDF]
Masters ThesisTrials were carried out at Lyons Estate Research Farm during 1998 on sugar beet (Beta Vulgaris). The commercially available seed treatment ‘Advantage’ was tested across 3 sowing dates, 4 commercially available cultivars and 4 harvest ...

Root phloem-specific expression of the plasma membrane amino acid proton co-transporter AAP3 [PDF]
Amino acids are regarded as the nitrogen ‘currency’ of plants. Amino acids can be taken up from the soil directly or synthesized from inorganic nitrogen, and then circulated in the plant via phloem and xylem.

Unraveling metabolic patterns and molecular mechanisms underlying storability in sugar beet
Background Sugar beet is an important crop for sugar production. Sugar beet roots are stored up to several weeks post-harvest waiting for processing in the sugar factories.
