Abiotic stress induces differential expression of genes responsible for the synthesis of
raffinose family of oligosaccharides (RFOs) in plants. RFOs are described as the most …

Due to their sessile nature, plants cannot escape adverse environmental conditions and
evolved mechanisms to cope with sudden environmental changes. The reaction to …

Plastids communicate their developmental and physiological status to the nucleus via
retrograde signaling, allowing nuclear gene expression to be adjusted appropriately …

Fructans and raffinose family oligosaccharides (RFOs) are the two most important classes of
water-soluble carbohydrates in plants. Recent progress is summarized on their metabolism …

Here, we report that SUGARS WILL EVENTUALLY BE EXPORTED TRANSPORTER
(SWEET16) from Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) is a vacuole-located carrier …

In their natural habitat, plants are continuously challenged by adverse environmental
conditions. Among them, cold stress (CS) is a major environmental factor limiting agricultural …

Raffinose family oligosaccharides (RFOs), the α-galactosyl derivatives of sucrose, are nearly
ubiquitous in Plantae, and they have been demonstrated to play pivotal roles in regulating …

Plants have evolved strategies to tightly regulate metabolism during acclimation to a
changing environment. Low temperature significantly constrains distribution, growth and …

Ethylene‐responsive factors (ERFs) are plant‐specific transcription factors involved in cold
stress response, and raffinose is known to accumulate in plants exposed to cold. However, it …

Plants are sessile photo-autotrophic organisms continuously exposed to a variety of
environmental stresses. Monitoring the sugar level and energy status is essential, since this …
