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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

The effect of nutrients on plant growth and development has been studied for over 350 years
since the experiments of van Helmont in 1648 (6). Recent studies on nutrient effects in …

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 …

Due to their role as energy and carbon sources and their regulatory functions, sugars
influence all phases of the plant life cycle, interact with other signaling molecules, including …
