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 …

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 …

Many new questions on the regulation of shoot branching have been raised in recent years,
prompting a review and reassessment of the role of each signal involved. Sugars and their …

Plants produce a huge array of metabolites, far more than those produced by most other
organisms. Unraveling this diversity and its underlying genetic variation has attracted …

Abstract Trehalose 6-phosphate (Tre6P), the intermediate of trehalose biosynthesis, is an
essential signal metabolite in plants, linking growth and development to carbon status. The …

The timing of flowering is determined by endogenous genetic components as well as
various environmental factors, such as day length, temperature, and stress. The genetic …

Coordination of shoot photosynthetic carbon fixation with root inorganic nitrogen uptake
optimizes plant performance in a fluctuating environment [1]. However, the molecular basis …

Sucrose metabolism plays pivotal roles in development, stress response, and yield
formation, mainly by generating a range of sugars as metabolites to fuel growth and …

Starch commands a central role in the carbon budget of the majority of plants on earth, and
its biological role changes during development and in response to the environment …

Evolutionary success in plants is largely dependent on the successful transition from
vegetative to reproductive growth. In the lifetime of a plant, flowering is not only an essential …
