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

The molecular details of sugar sensing and sugar-mediated signal transduction pathways
are unclear but recent results suggest that hexokinase functions as an important plant sugar …

Sugar sensing and signalling networks in plants Page 1 Nutrient Sensing through the Plasma
Membrane of Eukaryotic Cells 269 Sugar sensing and signalling networks in plants F. Rolland*† …

The molecular mechanisms by which plant cells sense sugar levels are not understood, but
current models (adapted from models for sugar sensing in yeast) favour hexokinase as the …

The ability to sense sugars is crucial for the modulation of gene expression in plants.
Despite the importance of this phenomenon, our knowledge of sugar sensing in plants is …

In addition to their essential roles as substrates in carbon and energy metabolism and in
polymer biosynthesis, sugars have important hormone-like functions as primary messengers …

The mechanisms by which higher plants recognize and respond to sugars are largely
unknown. Here, we present evidence that the first enzyme in the hexose assimilation …

Recent studies indicate that, in a manner similar to classical plant hormones, sugars can act
as signaling molecules that control gene expression and developmental processes in …

Sugars not only fuel cellular carbon and energy metabolism but also play pivotal roles as
signaling molecules. The experimental amenability of yeast as a unicellular model system …

Plants, restricted by their environment, need to integrate a wide variety of stimuli with their
metabolic activity, growth and development. Sugars, generated by photosynthetic carbon …
