a role for ENT3, which is expressed mainly in the vasculature of roots and leaves, as a major import route for nucleosides was supported.
Title: Nucleoside transport across the plasma membrane mediated by equilibrative nucleoside transporter 3 influences metabolism of Arabidopsis seedlings.

These results indicate that ENT3 is an important pyrimidine nucleoside transporter in Arabidopsis.
Title: The fluorouridine insensitive 1 (fur1) mutant is defective in equilibrative nucleoside transporter 3 (ENT3), and thus represents an important pyrimidine nucleoside uptake system in Arabidopsis thaliana.

AtENT3, but not AtENTs 1 and 6, is the main transporter for uridine uptake in Arabidopsis roots.
Title: Identification of AtENT3 as the main transporter for uridine uptake in Arabidopsis roots.
