ecosystems. Here we describe mechanisms of developmental plasticity and metabolic …

Background As universal energy currency, intracellular ATP (iATP) shortages in horticultural
crops during postharvest stresses and senescence. In addition to function as intracellular …

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

Communication between source organs (exporters of photoassimilates) and sink organs
(importers of fixed carbon) has a pivotal role in carbohydrate assimilation and partitioning …

Highlights•Emerging sugar signals are discussed.•Direct sugar sensing and signaling is
triggered via sugar-binding sensors.•Sugar-derived metabolites modulate energy sensors …

Since years, research on SnRK1, the major cellular energy sensor in plants, has tried to
define its role in energy signalling. However, these attempts were notoriously hampered by …

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

Oxygen is an indispensable substrate for many biochemical reactions in plants, including
energy metabolism (respiration). Despite its importance, plants lack an active transport …

The evolutionarily conserved protein kinase complexes SnRK1 and TOR are central
metabolic regulators essential for plant growth, development, and stress responses. They …

The amino acid proline has a unique biological role in stress adaptation. Proline metabolism
is manipulated under stress by multiple and complex regulatory pathways and can …
