Fast and simple fluorometric measurement of phloem loading exposes auxin-dependent regulation of Arabidopsis sucrose transporter AtSUC2. [PDF]
The rate of sucrose export from leaves is a major factor in balancing whole‐plant carbon and energy partitioning. We provide a new tool to study leaf sucrose export in relation to photosynthesis, sink demand, and other relevant processes by utilizing the ability of sucrose transporter proteins to specifically transport the fluorescent molecule esculin.
