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

Sugars play a key role in fruit quality, as they directly influence taste, and thus consumer
acceptance. Carbohydrates are the main resources needed by the plant for carbon and …

Agriculture is largely dependent on climate and is highly vulnerable to climate change. The
global mean surface temperatures are increasing due to global climate change …

Salinity stress is one of the significant abiotic stresses that influence critical metabolic
processes in the plant. Salinity stress limits plant growth and development by adversely …

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 …

To understand the underlying mechanism for plasticity in root to shoot ratio (R/S) in
response to drought stress, two rice cultivars, Zhenshan97 (drought susceptible) and …

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 …

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 …

In most fungal pathogen–plant systems, a high level of sugars in plant tissues enhances
plant resistance. Several hypotheses have been proposed to explain the mechanisms of …

Sucrose is the main form of assimilated carbon which is produced during photosynthesis
and then transported from source to sink tissues via the phloem. This disaccharide is known …
