doi:10.13560/j.cnki.biotech.bull.1985.2020-1027

Abstract

Abstract:

The products of plant photosynthesis mainly transport from source to sink in the form of sucrose in plants. The sucrose transporters play key role in this process,their expressions and regulations are closely related to the distribution of photosynthetic products in plants,thus they consequently regulate plant growth and development process,production and resistance to stress and disease. The expressions of sucrose transporters are affected by plant developmental period,environmental conditions and plant hormones. The regulation mechanisms of sucrose transporters include the regulation of transcription factors,the internal sequence regulating of genes,the phosphorylation of proteins,the interaction between proteins,and the activity regulating of proton transporters. This paper reviews the latest results on the factors regulating the expressions and activities of sucrose transporters as well as the mechanisms,aiming to provide relevant research information and ideas in exploring the functions and regulating mechanisms of plant sucrose transporters from multi-angle.

Key words: sucrose transporter, expression, regulation
