    Influence of temperature on the expression of the rice sucrose transporter 4 gene, OsSUT4, in germinating embryos and maturing pollen

    Rice (Oryza sativa L.) sucrose transporter 4 (OsSUT4) is a rice sucrose transporter family gene. During the early seed germination stage, OsSUT4 was substantially expressed in seed aleurone layer, scutellum, and ...

    Abscisic acid enhances starch degradation and sugar transport in rice upper leaf sheaths at the post-heading stage

    Leaf sheaths of higher position leaves (upper leaf sheaths) on rice (Oryza sativa L.) stems function as temporary starch storage organs at the pre-heading stage. Starch is quickly accumulated in upper leaf sheath...

    Molecular regulation of sink–source transition in rice leaf sheaths during the heading period

    The upper leaf sheath of rice (Oryza sativa L.) serves as a temporary starch sink before heading, subsequently becoming a carbon source tissue to the growing panicle at the post-heading stage. The time of sink–so...

    Molecular regulation of starch accumulation in rice seedling leaves in response to salt stress

    In this report we show that the starch content decreased in NaCl-stressed rice (Oryza sativa L.) seedling leaves during the daytime. Because photosynthetic efficiency and starch degradation enzyme activity were n...
