2000 August Rebels shoot down transport helicopter in Chechnya, killing 118 Russian soldiers.
Particularly, N-fixing legumes utilize ureides for root to shoot N transport [ 56, 57].
To determine the plant translocation ability of metal via root to shoot, the transport index [(Cu shoot mg Kg-1 /Cu root mg Kg-1) × 100] was calculated as suggested by Soleimani et al. [ 6].
A root to shoot ABA transport could not be detected within 180 min after ABA application possibly due to low transpiration when whole seedlings were perfused with buffer solution ('Materials and methods and Discussion').
They function via ABC transporters and long-distance root-to-shoot transport mechanisms (Mendoza-Cózatl et al. 2011; Song et al. 2010).
Understanding the mechanisms involved in nitrate use of sugarcane including root uptake, root-to-shoot transport, storage, remobilisation and assimilation is now required.
The root-to-shoot transport of 22Na+ was also decreased and was correlated with an upregulation of OsHKT1 5, the native transporter responsible for Na+ retrieval from the transpiration stream.
The low nitrate content in shoots of commercial sugarcane cultivars and Saccharum species together with low translocation rates of 15N-nitrate to shoots suggest a bottleneck in the uptake and root-to-shoot transport of nitrate rather than limitation in nitrate assimilation per se.
One of the encoded sulfate transporters was related to the Arabidopsis SULTR3 5, a protein functioning in the root-to-shoot transport of sulfate [ 40].
Similarly, rehydration of drought-stressed Cleopatra mandarin plants resulted in root-to-shoot transport of ACC, and subsequent leaf abscission as a result of elevated ethylene biosynthesis (Tudela and Primo-Millo 1992).
