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 …

Sucrose is required for plant growth and development. The sugar status of plant cells is
sensed by sensor proteins. The signal generated by signal transduction cascades, which …

Summary Arabidopsis hexokinase1 (HXK1) is a glucose sensor that integrates nutrient and
hormone signals to govern gene expression and plant growth in response to environmental …

Abstract The Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) hexokinase 1 (AtHXK1) is recognized as an
important glucose (Glc) sensor. However, the function of hexokinases as Glc sensors has …

Experiments were undertaken to investigate some of the mechanisms that may function to
regulate lignin biosynthesis (lignification) in Arabidopsis thaliana. Northern blot analyses …

Signals originating from chloroplasts and mitochondria modulate nuclear gene expression
(retrograde signalling). Relevant signals are derived from the pool of reactive oxygen …

Pre‐harvest sprouting (PHS) is an unfavorable trait in cereal crops that could seriously
decrease grain yield and quality. Although some PHS‐associated quantitative trait loci or …

Plants are exposed to environments that fluctuate of timescales varying from seconds to
months. Leaves that develop in one set of conditions optimise their metabolism to the …

Hexokinase (HXK) is a dual-function enzyme that both phosphorylates hexose to form
hexose 6− phosphate and plays an important role in sugar sensing and signaling. To …

It is vital to ramp up crop production dramatically by 2050 due to the increasing global
population and demand for food. However, with the climate change projections showing that …
