Trehalose 6-phosphate (Tre6P) has a dual function as a signal and homeostatic regulator of
sucrose levels in plants. In source leaves, Tre6P regulates the production of sucrose to …

Many new questions on the regulation of shoot branching have been raised in recent years,
prompting a review and reassessment of the role of each signal involved. Sugars and their …

Sugars play a key role in fruit quality, as they directly influence taste, and thus consumer
acceptance. Carbohydrates are the main resources needed by the plant for carbon and …

Abstract Trehalose 6-phosphate (Tre6P), the intermediate of trehalose biosynthesis, is an
essential signal metabolite in plants, linking growth and development to carbon status. The …

Abstract Tre6P (trehalose-6-phosphate) mediates sensing of carbon availability to maintain
sugar homeostasis in plants, which underpins crop yield and resilience. However, how …

Cellular sugar status is essentially maintained during normal growth conditions but is
impacted negatively during various environmental perturbations. Drought presents one such …

Trehalose is a quantitatively important compatible solute and stress protectant in many
organisms, including green algae and primitive plants. These functions have largely been …

The inhibition of shoot branching by the growing shoot tip of plants, termed apical
dominance, was originally thought to be mediated by auxin. Recently, the importance of the …

Flooding is detrimental for nearly all higher plants, including crops. The compound stress
elicited by slow gas exchange and low light levels under water is responsible for both a …

Global socioeconomic developments create strong incentives for farmers to shift from
transplanted to direct-seeded rice (DSR) as a means of intensification and economization 1 …
