Isolation and characterization of a sucrose carrier cDNA from spinach by functional expression in yeast

Active loading of the phloem with sucrose in leaves is an essential part of the process of supplying non‐photosynthetic tissues with carbon and energy. The transport is protein mediated and coupled to proton‐symport, but so far no sucrose carrier gene has been identified. Using an engineered Sacchar...
