The regulation of carbon partitioning between source and sink tissues in higher plants is not
only important for plant growth and development, but insight into the underlying regulatory …

The sessile nature of plants' life is endowed with a highly evolved defense system to adapt
and survive under environmental extremes. To combat such stresses, 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 …

Hexokinase (HXK) is present in all virtually living organisms and is central to carbohydrate
metabolism catalysing the ATP‐dependent phosphorylation of hexoses. In plants, HXKs are …

Sucrose cleavage is vital to multicellular plants, not only for the allocation of crucial carbon
resources but also for the initiation of hexose-based sugar signals in importing structures …

Plants display enormous diversity in their metabolism. Although the biosynthesis and
function of the myriad plant metabolites have been studied for decades, we have little …

Heterotrimeric G protein signaling is important for cell-proliferative and glucose-sensing
signal transduction pathways in the model plant organism Arabidopsis thaliana. AtRGS1 is a …

Mutations in genes encoding components of the heterotrimeric G-protein complex were
previously shown to confer altered sensitivity to increased levels of d-glucose. This suggests …

Photosynthesis converts solar energy to chemical energy, which then drives the synthesis of
sugars from carbon dioxide and water. Sugars play multiple roles in all aspects of plant life …

Global primary production is driven largely by oxygenic photosynthesis, with algae as major
contributors. The green alga Chromochloris zofingiensis reversibly switches off …
