Overexpression of the VvSWEET4 Transporter in Grapevine Hairy Roots Increases Sugar Transport and Contents and Enhances Resistance to Pythium irregulare, a Soilborne Pathogen

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2019
Sugar transport and partitioning play key roles in the regulation of plant development and responses to biotic and abiotic factors. During plant/pathogen interactions, there is a competition for sugar that is controlled by membrane transporters and their

Gateway to the Golgi: Molecular mechanisms of nucleotide sugar transporters [PDF]

, 2019
The Golgi apparatus plays a central role in the secretory pathway as a hub for posttranslational modification, protein sorting and quality control. To date, there is little structural or biochemical information concerning the function of transporters ...

Identification of sugar transporters in arbuscular mycorrhiza

, 2012
SPE IPM CT1National audienceOur study focuses on sugar transporters from both plant and fungal partners at the symbiotic interface to better understand biotrophic exchange systems. Thereby, a collection of putative contigs and ESTs of hexose transporters

Arabidopsis thaliana expresses multiple Golgi-localised nucleotide-sugar transporters related to GONST1 [PDF]

, 2004
Transport of nucleotide-sugars across the Golgi membrane is required for the lumenal synthesis of a variety of essential cell surface components, and is mediated by nucleotide sugar transporters (NSTs) which are members of the large drug/metabolite ...

Sugar transporters in higher plants – a diversity of roles and complex regulation

, 2000
Sugar-transport proteins play a crucial role in the cell-to-cell and long-distance distribution of sugars throughout the plant. In the past decade, genes encoding sugar transporters (or carriers) have been identified, functionally expressed in ...
