Glycerol 3-phosphate transporter types have now been identified as tonoplast-localized vacuolar Pi efflux transporters, integrating vacuolar Pi transport systems in plants. Mingda Luan; ...

The vacuole is a plant’s major phosphate (Pi) pool. Cellular Pi homeostasis highly depends on shuttling Pi between vacuoles and the cytosol. Glycerol 3-phosphate transporter types have now been ...

A research team has revealed the molecular steps that led to the emergence of this plant-specific vacuolar transport system. Their work shows that the acquisition of this pathway was driven by the ...

Vacuoles are indispensable for maintaining the homeostasis of the cellular environment and metabolic activity. Communication between the vacuole and the rest of the cell occurs across the vacuolar ...

In a paper published on aBIOTECH, the role of MdPH5, a P-type ATPase, in regulating malate accumulation and vacuolar acidification in apple was investigated and its transcriptional regulation by ...

These stepwise changes allowed VAMP72 to evolve into VAMP727, supporting the development of the efficient vacuolar transport system found in seed plants. view more . Credit: ...
