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 ...
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 ...

Stubby roots, brittle branches, poor fertility -- these are some of the symptoms which can occur in the case of boron deficiency in plants. Thanks to transport proteins called Nodulin26-like-intrinsic ...
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 ...
Global change and plant water relations -- Cavitation. A review: past, present and future -- Effect of cavitation on the status of water in plants -- Stomatal control of xylem -- Refilling of ...
Sulfate transporters are integral membrane proteins controlling the flux of sulfate (SO₄2−) entering the cells and subcellular compartments across the membrane lipid bilayers. Sulfate uptake is a ...
