Gene Details

Functions:

  • The Sucrose export defective1 (Sxd1) gene of maize was cloned and shown to encode a novel protein conserved between plants and cyanobacteria.
  • Disruption of chloroplast-to-nucleus signaling in sxd1 mutants likely has pleiotropic effects on the developing leaf, resulting in the sealing of BS-VP plasmodesmata and subsequent VP cell death.
