Recently, evidence has increased for both long- and short-distance transport of polyamines (PAs) in living organisms, but the mechanisms involved and physiological significance of PAs translocation are still not well understood. This review deals with various aspects of polyamine uptake and transport in higher plant tissues.

Keywords: putrescine; spermine; spermidine; transport
Subjects: Km for polyamine uptake; polyamine uptake, translocation; putrescine transport; spermidine transport; spermine transport
