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 …

Sucrose controls various developmental and metabolic processes in plants. In this review,
we evaluate whether sucrose could be a preferred signaling molecule that controls …

Plants produce and accumulate triacylglycerol (TAG) in their seeds as an energy reservoir to
support the processes of seed germination and seedling development. Plant seed oils are …

Under the natural environment, nutrient signals interact with phytohormones to coordinate
and reprogram plant growth and survival. Sugars are important molecules that control …

Sugars, especially glucose and fructose, contribute to the taste and quality of tomato fruits.
These compounds are translocated from the leaves to the fruits and then unloaded into the …

Shoot branching is a key process for plant growth and fitness. Newly produced axes result
from axillary bud outgrowth, which is at least partly mediated through the regulation of …

Fruit sweetness is determined by the amount and composition of sugars in the edible flesh.
The accumulation of sugar is a highly orchestrated process that requires coordination of …

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 …

Plant architecture is controlled by several endogenous signals including hormones and
sugars. However, only little information is known about the nature and roles of the sugar …

Sugar transport and distribution have a direct impact on the growth and development of
plants. Many sugars significantly influence salt stress response. The sensing of salt stress …
