Plant sugars: Homeostasis and transport under abiotic stress in plants
The sessile nature of plants' life is endowed with a highly evolved defense system to adapt
and survive under environmental extremes. To combat such stresses, plants have …

Dynamics of non‐structural carbohydrates in terrestrial plants: a global synthesis
Plants store large amounts of non‐structural carbohydrates (NSC). While multiple functions
of NSC have long been recognized, the interpretation of NSC seasonal dynamics is often …
