Plants are autotrophic organisms that self-produce sugars through photosynthesis. These
sugars serve as an energy source, carbon skeletons, and signaling entities throughout …

In plants, sugars such as glucose act as signalling molecules that promote changes in gene
expression programmes that impact on growth and development. Recent evidence has …

Sugars, the chemically bound form of energy, are formed by the absorption of
photosynthetically active radiation and fixation in plants. During evolution, plants availed the …

In plants, sugars are required to sustain growth and regulate gene expression. A large set of
genes are either up-or down-regulated by sugars; however, whether there is a common …

Recently, carbohydrates and/or sugars have emerged as crucial components for improving
plant tolerance to abiotic stress. Abiotic stressors such as drought, salinity, severe …

Complex and interconnected signaling networks allow organisms to control cell division,
growth, differentiation, or programmed cell death in response to metabolic and …

Plant growth and development has to be continuously adjusted to the available resources.
Their optimization requires the integration of signals conveying the plant metabolic status, its …

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

Sugars have a central regulatory function in steering plant growth. This review focuses on
information presented in the past 2 years on key players in sugar-mediated plant growth …
