Vascular plants contain two gene families that encode monosaccharide transporter proteins.
The classical monosaccharide transporter (-like) gene superfamily is large and functionally …

Higher plants produce four classes of tetrapyrroles, namely, chlorophyll (Chl), heme,
siroheme, and phytochromobilin. In plants, tetrapyrroles play essential roles in a wide range …

We review current knowledge of the most abundant sugars, sucrose, maltose, glucose and
fructose, in the world's major crop plants. The sucrose‐accumulating crops, sugar beet and …

Sugars are evolutionarily conserved signaling molecules that regulate the growth and
development of both unicellular and multicellular organisms. As sugar-producing …

Tandem zinc finger (TZF) proteins are characterized by two zinc‐binding CCCH motifs
arranged in tandem. Human TZFs such as tristetraproline (TTP) bind to and trigger the …

Chloroplast development is an important determinant of plant productivity and is controlled
by environmental factors including amounts of light and nitrogen as well as internal …

In living organisms sugars not only provide energy and carbon skeletons but also act as
evolutionarily conserved signaling molecules. The three major soluble sugars in plants are …

Background Naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA), a synthetic auxin analogue, is widely used as
an effective thinner in apple orchards. When applied shortly after fruit set, some fruit abscise …

Glucose modulates plant metabolism, growth, and development. In Arabidopsis
(Arabidopsis thaliana), Hexokinase1 (HXK1) is a glucose sensor that may trigger abscisic …

This study investigated the effects of cross-talk interactions of sucrose and infection caused
by a pathogenic fungus Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lupini on the regulation of the …
