Stabilization of central carbohydrate metabolism plays a key role in plant stress response. Carbohydrates are substrate for numerous metabolic and stress‐responsive reactions and have been shown to be involved in diverse signalling processes on a whole‐plant level. Regulation of enzymatic sucrose synthesis and degradation is well‐known to be central to many stress‐related processes as it significantly impacts stress tolerance. Leaf sucrose metabolism involves sucrose cleavage by invertases and ATP‐consuming resynthesis catalysed by hexokinase and sucrose phosphate synthase. These reactions establish a metabolic cycle. To study the physiological role of sucrose cycling, a kinetic model was developed to simulate dynamics of subcellular sugar concentrations in Arabidopsis thaliana under combined cold and high‐light stress. Model simulation revealed that subcellular reprogramming of invertase …
