Sugars are capable of acting as regulatory signals that affect gene expression, growth and
development in all organisms. Although fundamental, the mechanisms that multicellular …

Complex and interconnected signaling networks allow organisms to control cell division,
growth, differentiation, or programmed cell death in response to metabolic and …

Figure 1. Overview of Glc-signaling pathways in yeast. The arrows represent gaps in the
signaling cascades. Close interactions between the repression and derepression pathways …

The regulation of carbon metabolism in plant cells responds sensitively to the levels of
carbon metabolites that are available. The sensing and signalling systems that are involved …

Sugars modulate many vital processes that are also controlled by hormones during plant
growth and development. Characterization of sugar-signalling mutants in Arabidopsis has …

Like all organisms, plants require energy for growth. They achieve this by absorbing light
and fixing it into a usable, chemical form via photosynthesis. The resulting carbohydrate …

Plants as photoautotrophic organisms are able to produce the carbohydrates they require
and have developed mechanisms to co‐ordinate carbohydrate production and its …

Plants adjust their growth and development through a sophisticated regulatory system
integrating endogenous and exogenous cues. Many of them rely on intricate crosstalk …

Plants use sugars as signaling molecules and possess mechanisms to detect and respond
to changes in sugar availability, ranging from the level of secondary signaling molecules to …

The effects of manipulating nutrient supply on plant growth and development have long
been known. However, it is only recently that these effects have been understood to consist …
