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 …

Highlights•Three main traits are involved in salt tolerance: ion exclusion, tissue tolerance
and osmotic tolerance.•Numerous genes encoding salt tolerance traits are likely to …

World population is expected to reach 9.2× 109 people by 2050. Feeding them will require a
boost in crop productivity using innovative approaches. Current agricultural production is …

Abstract Tre6P (trehalose-6-phosphate) mediates sensing of carbon availability to maintain
sugar homeostasis in plants, which underpins crop yield and resilience. However, how …

Drought is one of the major constraints limiting crop production worldwide. Crop growth
models predict that this issue will be more severe in future. Drought impairs normal growth …

Trehalose is a quantitatively important compatible solute and stress protectant in many
organisms, including green algae and primitive plants. These functions have largely been …

Maize, the highest-yielding cereal crop worldwide, is particularly susceptible to drought
during its 2-to 3-week flowering period. Many genetic engineering strategies for drought …

Salinity is an ever‐present threat to crop yields, especially in countries where irrigation is an
essential aid to agriculture. Although the tolerance of saline conditions by plants is variable …

Undoubtedly, drought is one of the prime abiotic stresses in the world. Crop yield losses due
to drought stress are considerable. Although a variety of approaches have been used to …

Sucrose is produced in, and translocated from, photosynthetically active leaves (sources) to
support non-photosynthetic tissues (sinks), such as developing seeds, fruits, and tubers …
