Modeling the parameters for plasmodesmal sugar filtering in active symplasmic phloem loaders

Plasmodesmata (PD) play a key role in loading of sugars into the phloem. In plant species that employ the so-called active symplasmic loading strategy, sucrose that diffuses into their unique intermediary cells is converted into sugar oligomers. According to the prevalent hypothesis, the oligomers a...
