Sucrose is the end product of photosynthesis and the primary sugar transported in the
phloem of most plants. Sucrose synthase (SuSy) is a glycosyl transferase enzyme that plays …

Starch is a significant store of sugars, and the starch-sugar interconversion in source and
sink tissues plays a profound physiological role in all plants. In this review, we discuss how …

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

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

As a consequence of an increase in world population, food demand is expected to grow by
up to 110% in the next 30–35 yr. The population of sub‐Saharan Africa is projected to …

Abstract The SnRK1 (SNF1-related kinase 1) kinases are the plant cellular fuel gauges,
activated in response to energy-depleting stress conditions to maintain energy homeostasis …

Sustaining energy homeostasis is crucial to every living being. To balance energy supply
and demand, plants make use of an evolutionarily conserved management system …

Plant development is highly dependent on energy levels. TARGET OF RAPAMYCIN (TOR)
activates the proximal root meristem to promote root development in response to …

Glycation can be defined as an array of non-enzymatic post-translational modifications of
proteins formed by their interaction with reducing carbohydrates and carbonyl products of …

Nucleotide sugars are the key precursors for all glycosylation reactions and are required
both for oligo-and polysaccharides synthesis and protein and lipid glycosylation. Among all …
