We present unresolved questions in plant abiotic stress biology as posed by 15 research
groups with expertise spanning eco-physiology to cell and molecular biology. Common …

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 …

Structural variations (SVs) and gene copy number variations (gCNVs) have contributed to
crop evolution, domestication, and improvement. Here, we assembled 31 high-quality …

The current trajectory for crop yields is insufficient to nourish the world's population by 2050.
Greater and more consistent crop production must be achieved against a backdrop of …

Submergence stress represents a major obstacle limiting the application of direct seeding in
rice cultivation. Under flooding conditions, coleoptile elongation can function as an escape …

Soil flooding creates composite and complex stress in plants known as either submergence
or waterlogging stress depending on the depth of the water table. In nature, these stresses …

Sugars play a key role in fruit quality, as they directly influence taste, and thus consumer
acceptance. Carbohydrates are the main resources needed by the plant for carbon and …

Global climate change is strongly associated with variations in precipitation and flooding
events. Flooding usually causes submergence-or partial submergence stress in plants …

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 …

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 …
