Defense against stress and active suppression of growth are two complementary strategies
by which plants respond to adverse environments. Although beneficial for plant survival …

Abstract Trehalose 6-phosphate (Tre6P), the intermediate of trehalose biosynthesis, is an
essential signal metabolite in plants, linking growth and development to carbon status. The …

The central metabolic regulator SnRK1 controls plant growth and survival upon activation by
energy depletion, but detailed molecular insight into its regulation and downstream targets is …

SnRK1, an evolutionarily conserved heterotrimeric kinase complex that acts as a key
metabolic sensor in maintaining energy homeostasis in plants, is an important upstream …

triggered via sugar-binding sensors.•Sugar-derived metabolites modulate energy sensors …

All living organisms rely on nutrients to sustain cell metabolism and energy production,
which in turn need to be adjusted based on available resources. The evolutionarily …

Abstract WRINKLED1 (WRI1), the transcriptional activator of fatty acid synthesis, was
recently identified as a target of KIN10, a catalytic α-subunit of the SUCROSE-NON …

Autophagy is a degradation process in which cells break down and recycle their cytoplasmic
contents when subjected to environmental stress or during cellular remodeling. The …

Metabolic adjustment to changing environmental conditions, particularly balancing of growth
and defense responses, is crucial for all organisms to survive. The evolutionary conserved …

Nitrogen (N) is an essential nutrient that affects multiple plant developmental processes,
including flowering. As flowering requires resources to develop sink tissues for reproduction …
