Trehalose 6-phosphate (Tre6P) has a dual function as a signal and homeostatic regulator of
sucrose levels in plants. In source leaves, Tre6P regulates the production of sucrose to …

Strigolactones are rhizosphere signals and phytohormones that play crucial roles in plant
development. They are also well known for their role in integrating nitrate and phosphate …

Many new questions on the regulation of shoot branching have been raised in recent years,
prompting a review and reassessment of the role of each signal involved. Sugars and their …

Under the natural environment, nutrient signals interact with phytohormones to coordinate
and reprogram plant growth and survival. Sugars are important molecules that control …

The inhibition of shoot branching by the growing shoot tip of plants, termed apical
dominance, was originally thought to be mediated by auxin. Recently, the importance of the …

Summary Trehalose 6‐phosphate (Tre6P) is a sucrose signalling metabolite that has been
implicated in regulation of shoot branching, but its precise role is not understood. We …

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 …

Shoot-branching patterns determine key aspects of plant life and are important targets for
crop breeding. However, we are still largely ignorant of the genetic networks controlling …

Background Adventitious root (AR) formation in excised plant parts is a bottleneck for
survival of isolated plant fragments. AR formation plays an important ecological role and is a …

Circadian clocks regulate growth and development in plants and animals, but the role of
circadian regulation in crop production is poorly understood. Rice (Oryza sativa) grain yield …
