Many of the carriers of Sucrose–H+ symporters in the phloem play various role in transport, most of the transporters are found in source, path, and sink tissues. Some carriers are characterized such as;

a) SUT1, has high-affinity / low-capacity transporter found in the minor veins of source tissues, appears to be important in phloem loading.

b) Important role of SUT1 in phloem loading appears to be complemented by SUT4, which is low-affinity/high-capacity carrier

c) SUT2, appears to function as a sucrose sensor. This is indicated by findings showing that SUT2 is more highly expressed in sink and path tissues than in source leaves.

d) The major sucrose transporters in phloem loading into the companion cells and final uptake into companion cells appears to be the function of SUT4

Phloem loading in the apoplastic pathway thought to mediate the transport of sucrose from the apoplast into the sieve element– companion cell complex. Which of the following  are involved in such sucrose transporting by apoplast?

a) Sucrose is at a higher concentration in the sieve element–companion cell complex indicates that sucrose is actively transported against its chemical-potential gradient

b) Sugars transport from the apoplast into the sieve elements and companion cells energy driven process

c) Phloem loading in the apoplastic pathway involves a sucrose–H+ symporter

d) the route of phloem loading is−mesophyll cells→ bundle sheath cells→ phloem parenchyma cell→ ordinary companion cell→ sieve elements
