Plants are constantly confronted by multiple types of stress. Despite their distinct origin and
mode of perception, nutrient deprivation and most stresses have an impact on the overall …

The SNF1 (sucrose non-fermenting 1)-related protein kinases 1 (SnRKs1) are the plant
orthologs of the budding yeast SNF1 and mammalian AMPK (AMP-activated protein kinase) …

Autophagy is a degradation process in which cells break down and recycle their cytoplasmic
contents when subjected to environmental stress or during cellular remodeling. The …

Highlights•Sugars serve as nutrients and as regulatory signals.•SnRK1 and TOR control
metabolism and growth oppositely in response to sugars.•Manipulation of SnRK1 and TOR …

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 …

The evolutionarily conserved protein kinase complexes SnRK1 and TOR are central
metabolic regulators essential for plant growth, development, and stress responses. They …

The SNF1-related kinases are considered to be crucial elements of transcriptional,
metabolic and developmental regulation in response to stress. In yeast, SNF1 is one of the …

Herbivore attack elicits costly defenses that are known to decrease plant fitness by using
resources that are normally slated for growth and reproduction. Additionally, plants have …

Abstract The SnRK1 (SNF1-related kinase 1) kinases are the plant cellular fuel gauges,
activated in response to energy-depleting stress conditions to maintain energy homeostasis …

Plants require water for growth and development, but excessive water negatively affects
their productivity and viability. Flash floods occasionally result in complete submergence of …
