2.A.2.4.1
Liu et al. 2023Sucrose:H+ symporter, Suc1 or Sut1. It provides osmotic driving force for anther dehiscence, pollen germination and pollen tube growth and also transports other glucosides such as maltose and phenylglucosides. Km (sucrose)= 0.5 mM. (Stadler et al., 1999)).  In wheat (Triticum aesticum), there are at least three isoforms designated Sut2A, Sut2B and Sut2D (Deol et al. 2013). The ortholog in the common bean, Phaseolus vulgaris (SUT1.1), has been characterized as a high affinity sucrose:H+ symporter (Santiago et al. 2020). SUTs in rice play a role in the apoplastic loading as a major phloem loading strategy (Wang et al. 2021). Some Suts can transport sucrose, glucose, fructose and mannose (Liu et al. 2023).
