#SWEET proteins

2 public questions tagged with this topic.

Double mutants of SWEET11 and SWEET12 show:

Sugar accumulation in source leaves (C) is correct here. This is core PHLOEM TRANSLOCATION: once you know the definition or pathway step, Sugar accumulation in source leaves is the clear fit. The wrong ones are A) Normal growth; B) Increased translocation; D) Enhanced sink strength. If the topic is about gradients or potentials, water/solutes move from higher to lower of the relevant quantity.

SWEET proteins primarily function as:

C fits best: Uniporters. Keep the PHLOEM TRANSLOCATION basics straight and Uniporters stands out as the precise answer. Avoid: A) ATP-driven pumps; B) Antiporters; D) Symporters. Light and flowering items often hinge on which photoreceptor or day-length rule is in play.
