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

Polyamines play a fundamental role in the functioning of all cells. Their regulatory role in
plant development, their function under stress conditions, and their metabolism have been …

Proline accumulation is a widespread response of plants to salt stress as well as drought
and cold stress. In most plant species, two isoforms of pyrroline-5-carboxylate synthetase …

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

Soluble sugars are the core components of fruit quality, and the degree of sugar
accumulation is largely determined by tonoplast-localized sugar transporters. We previously …

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 …

Trees are increasingly exposed to hot droughts due to CO2‐induced climate change.
However, the direct role of [CO2] in altering tree physiological responses to drought and …

Background To improve our understanding about the physiological mechanism of grain
yield reduction at anthesis, three spring wheat genotypes [L 1 (advanced line), L 2 (Vorobey) …

Sugar transport across membranes is critical for plant development and yield. However, an
analysis of the role of intracellular sugar transporters in senescence is lacking. Here, we …

Sucrose (Suc) is one of the most important types of sugars in plants, serving inter alia as a
long-distance transport molecule, a carbon and energy storage compound, an osmotically …
