| rice sucrose transporter1 (ossut1) up-regulation in xylem parenchyma is caused by aphid feeding on rice leaf blade vascular bundles. | the role of the sucrose transporter ossut1 in assimilate retrieval via the xylem, as a result of damage to and leakage from punctured phloem was examined after rusty plum aphid (hysteroneura setariae, thomas) infestation on leaves from 3-week-old rice (oryza sativa l. cv nipponbare) plants. leaves were examined over a 1- to 10-day infestation time course, using a combination of gene expression and β-glucuronidase (gus) reporter gene analyses. qpcr and western blot analyses revealed differential ... | 2014 | 24206428 |
