Sucrose metabolism plays pivotal roles in development, stress response, and yield
formation, mainly by generating a range of sugars as metabolites to fuel growth and …

Sucrose cleavage is vital to multicellular plants, not only for the allocation of crucial carbon
resources but also for the initiation of hexose-based sugar signals in importing structures …

Sucrose is a molecule that is synthesized only by oxygenic photosynthetic organisms. In
plants, sucrose is synthesized in source tissues and then can be transported to sink tissues …

In most higher plants, sucrose is the primary organic carbon that is translocated through
phloem from photosynthetic leaves (source) into non-photosynthetic tissues (sink) such as …

Sucrose is produced in, and translocated from, photosynthetically active leaves (sources) to
support non-photosynthetic tissues (sinks), such as developing seeds, fruits, and tubers …

Sucrose (Suc) plays a central role in plant growth and development. It is a major end product
of photosynthesis and functions as a primary transport sugar and in some cases as a direct …

Sugars are ubiquitous and critical components for general metabolism. These primary
products from photosynthesis affect most, if not all, processes in plant cells by providing …

The role of sucrose as a signaling molecule in plants was originally proposed several
decades ago. However, recognition of sucrose as a true signal has been largely debated …

Plants are autotrophic and photosynthetic organisms that both produce and consume
sugars. Soluble sugars are highly sensitive to environmental stresses, which act on the …

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