Hexokinase is considered to be the key molecule in sugar signaling and metabolism. Here,
we reported that silencing SlHXK1 resulted in a decrease in flower number, increased rate …

Sugars are the key regulatory molecules that impact diverse biological processes in plants.
Hexokinase, the key rate-limiting enzyme in hexose metabolism, takes part in the first step of …

Hexokinase (HXK) has been implicated to be a key player in sugar signaling and
metabolism. However, little is known how HXKs regulate growth and development in planta …

Cysteine desulfhydrase (LCD) catalyzes the generation of the signaling molecule hydrogen
sulfide (H2S) in plants. In this study, we found that H2S can inhibit tomato (Solanum …

Fruit abscission is a severe hindrance to commercial crop production, and a lack of
carbohydrates causes fruit abscission to intensify in a variety of plant species. However, the …

Main conclusion The overexpression of SlbHLH22 functioned in controlling flowering time,
accelerated fruit ripening, and produced more ethylene-producing phenotypes in tomato …

There is little known about the function of rice hexokinases (HXK s) in planta. We
characterized hxk5-1, a Tos17 mutant of OsHXK5 that is up-regulated in maturing pollen, a …

Seed germination requires the relaxation of endosperm cap and radicle cell walls, with cell
wall hydrolases playing a significant role in this process. Our study revealed that a type of …

A hexokinase gene named MdHXK1 (MDP0000309677) was cloned from 'Gala'apple
(Malus× domestica Borkh.). Sequence analysis showed that the MdHXK1 gene was 1 497 …

Hydrogen sulfide (H 2 S) is a gaseous signaling molecule that plays multiple roles in plant
development. However, whether endogenous H 2 S plays a role in fruit ripening in tomato is …
