Abstract excerpt
Riboflavin (vitamin B₂; RF) and its derivatives flavin mononucleotide (FMN) and flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD) are indispensable cofactors for redox reactions in plants. While higher plants possess a conserved pathway for de novo RF biosynthesis, how flavins are transported and spatially distributed between tissues remains unresolved. In particular, the molecular identity of plasma membrane (PM) transporters...
