Sucrose controls various developmental and metabolic processes in plants. In this review,
we evaluate whether sucrose could be a preferred signaling molecule that controls …

Abstract Sugars Will Eventually be Exported Transporters (SWEETs) have important roles in
numerous physiological mechanisms where sugar efflux is critical, including phloem …

Background Abiotic stresses due to environmental factors could adversely affect the growth
and development of crops. Among the abiotic stresses, drought and heat stress are two …

▪ Abstract Plant responses to salinity stress are reviewed with emphasis on molecular
mechanisms of signal transduction and on the physiological consequences of altered gene …

Increasing interest is devoted to carbohydrates for their roles in plant immunity. Some of
them are elicitors of plant defenses whereas other ones act as signaling molecules in a …

Ambient temperatures are predicted to rise in the future owing to several reasons associated
with global climate changes. These temperature increases can result in heat stress-a severe …

Sugars not only fuel cellular carbon and energy metabolism but also play pivotal roles as
signaling molecules. The experimental amenability of yeast as a unicellular model system …

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 …

Like all organisms, plants require energy for growth. They achieve this by absorbing light
and fixing it into a usable, chemical form via photosynthesis. The resulting carbohydrate …

Soluble sugars, especially sucrose, glucose, and fructose, play an obviously central role in
plant structure and metabolism at the cellular and whole-organism levels. They are involved …
