Phenylpropanoids are a large class of plant secondary metabolites derived from aromatic
amino acids phenylalanine in most plants or tyrosine in partial monocots. It mainly includes …

Glutathione is an essential metabolite for plant life best known for its role in the control of
reactive oxygen species (ROS). Glutathione is also involved in the detoxification of …

Starch commands a central role in the carbon budget of the majority of plants on earth, and
its biological role changes during development and in response to the environment …

In nature, land plants as sessile organisms are faced with multiple nutrient stresses that
often occur simultaneously in soil. Nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), sulfur (S), zinc (Zn), and …

Background Phosphorus (P) is an essential element for plant growth and development but it
is often a limiting nutrient in soils. Hence, P acquisition from soil by plant roots is a subject of …

Highlights•Emerging sugar signals are discussed.•Direct sugar sensing and signaling is
triggered via sugar-binding sensors.•Sugar-derived metabolites modulate energy sensors …

As an essential plant macronutrient, the low availability of phosphorus (P) in most soils
imposes serious limitation on crop production. Plants have evolved complex responsive and …

Plants respond to different stresses by inducing or repressing transcription of partially
overlapping sets of genes. In Arabidopsis, the PHR1 transcription factor (TF) has an …

Plants acquire phosphorus in the form of phosphate (Pi), the concentration of which is often
limited for plant uptake. Plants have developed diverse responses to conserve and …

Despite recent elucidation of the three-dimensional structure of major photosynthetic
complexes, our understanding of light energy conversion in plant chloroplasts and …
