The Green Revolution of the 1960s improved crop yields in part through the widespread
cultivation of semidwarf plant varieties, which resist lodging but require a high-nitrogen (N) …

Trehalose 6-phosphate (Tre6P) has a dual function as a signal and homeostatic regulator of
sucrose levels in plants. In source leaves, Tre6P regulates the production of sucrose to …

Crop production is facing unprecedented challenges. Despite the fact that the food supply
has significantly increased over the past half‐century,~ 8.9 and 14.3% people are still …

Extreme climate events constitute a major risk to global food production. Among these,
extreme rainfall is often dismissed from historical analyses and future projections, the …

Nutrients and energy have emerged as central modulators of developmental programmes in
plants and animals,–. The evolutionarily conserved target of rapamycin (TOR) kinase is a …

Strigolactones are rhizosphere signals and phytohormones that play crucial roles in plant
development. They are also well known for their role in integrating nitrate and phosphate …

Under the natural environment, nutrient signals interact with phytohormones to coordinate
and reprogram plant growth and survival. Sugars are important molecules that control …

The inhibition of shoot branching by the growing shoot tip of plants, termed apical
dominance, was originally thought to be mediated by auxin. Recently, the importance of the …

Summary Trehalose 6‐phosphate (Tre6P) is a sucrose signalling metabolite that has been
implicated in regulation of shoot branching, but its precise role is not understood. We …

Plant nitrogen (N), acquired mainly in the form of nitrate and ammonium from soil, dominates
growth and development, and high-yield crop production relies heavily on N fertilization. The …
