In the short term, the production of bioethanol as a liquid transport fuel is almost entirely
dependent on starch and sugars from existing food crops. The sustainability of this industry …

Trehalose is a nonreducing sugar composed of two glucose units linked in an α, α-1, 1-
glycosidic linkage. Present in a wide variety of organisms, this sugar may serve as a source …

The tps1 mutant, which is disrupted in the TREHALOSE‐6‐PHOSPHATE SYNTHASE 1
gene, has been previously characterized as a recessive embryo lethal. tps1 embryos do not …

Plants possess acclimation responses in which structural reconfigurations adapt the
photosynthetic apparatus to fluctuating illumination. Long-term acclimation involves changes …

Sucrose non-fermenting-1 (SNF1)-related kinase 1 (SnRK1) lies at the heart of metabolic
homeostasis in plants and is crucial for normal development and response to stress …

The impact of abiotic stress on plant growth and development has been and still is a major
research topic. An important pathway that has been linked to abiotic stress tolerance is the …

Chlamydomonas reinhardtii is one of the most important model organisms nowadays
phylogenetically situated between higher plants and animals (Merchant et al. 2007). Stress …

The strong regulation of plant carbon allocation and growth by trehalose metabolism is
important for our understanding of the mechanisms that determine growth and yield, with …

Two different thiol redox systems exist in plant chloroplasts, the ferredoxin-thioredoxin (Trx)
system, which depends on ferredoxin reduced by the photosynthetic electron transport chain …

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 …
