Researchers have just elucidated structures of a sugar transport protein that drives transport of sugar in plants. The study provides a comprehensive insight into sugar uptake into plant organs such ...

Plants transport water and nutrients from their environment through specialized pores. Researchers at the University of Geneva (UNIGE) have shed light on a little-known but essential mechanism for ...

Sulfur is a vital macronutrient that plays central roles in plant growth, development and stress resilience. In plants, sulfur is primarily absorbed as sulfate from the soil and is subsequently ...

This illustration shows how the membrane trafficking protein VAMP72 gradually changed during plant evolution to give rise to VAMP727, which functions in transporting storage proteins to vacuoles. The ...
