Invasive fungal infections cause significant morbidity and mortality in part due to a limited
antifungal drug arsenal. One therapeutic challenge faced by clinicians is the significant host …

Introduction of microbial trehalose biosynthesis enzymes has been reported to enhance
abiotic stress resistance in plants but also resulted in undesirable traits. Here, we present an …

Large‐scale, single pass sequencing and parallel gene expression analysis using DNA
microarrays were employed for the comprehensive investigation of ripening in strawberry …

Higher plants typically do not produce trehalose in large amounts, but their genome
sequences reveal large families of putative trehalose metabolism enzymes. An important …

Trehalase is ubiquitous in higher plants. So far, indications concerning its function are
scarce, although it has been implicated in the detoxification of exogenous trehalose. A …

The genomes of Arabidopsis thaliana L., rice (Oryza sativa L.) and poplar (Populus
trichocarpa Torr. & A. Gray) contain large families of genes encoding trehalose-phosphate …

Trehalose serves as a stress protectant and/or reserve carbohydrate in a variety of
organisms including bacteria, yeast, and invertebrates. Recently, trace amounts of trehalose …

Trehalose is a nonreducing sugar used as a reserve carbohydrate and stress protectant in a
variety of organisms. While higher plants typically do not accumulate high levels of …

Eukaryotes able to withstand desiccation enter a state of suspended animation known as
anhydrobiosis, which is thought to require accumulation of the non-reducing disaccharides …

Various microorganisms produce the disaccharide trehalose during their symbiotic and
pathogenic interactions with plants. Trehalose has strong effects on plant metabolism and …
