摘要: The transporters responsible for sugar uptake into non-photosynthetic sink tissues in plants, such as roots and flowers, have not been fully identified analyzed. Plants encode around 100 putative within the major facilitator superfamily, yet only a few studied. Here we report analysis of alcohol permease homolog (AtPLT5, At3g18830) from Arabidopsis. A wide range sugars including hexoses, pentoses, tetroses, acid, alcohols but disaccharides induced inward currents oocytes expressing AtPLT5. AtPLT5 expression also resulted 14C-labeled substrate oocytes, indicating that encodes an ion-coupled transporter. K(0.5) values glucose sorbitol were highly dependent on external pH. Expression was found primarily tissues: elongation zone roots, inflorescence stem, several floral structures, especially abscission zone. by mechanical wounding insect feeding. Analysis transport properties Arabidopsis indicate functions to specific plant.
