Growth–defense tradeoffs are thought to occur in plants due to resource restrictions, which
demand prioritization towards either growth or defense, depending on external and internal …

Plants are constantly exposed to microorganisms in the environment and, as a result, have
evolved intricate mechanisms to recognize and defend themselves against potential …

Invertase (INV) hydrolyzes sucrose into glucose and fructose, thereby playing key roles in
primary metabolism and plant development. Based on their pH optima and sub-cellular …

Sucrose is produced in, and translocated from, photosynthetically active leaves (sources) to
support non-photosynthetic tissues (sinks), such as developing seeds, fruits, and tubers …

Plants growing in their natural habitats are often challenged simultaneously by multiple
stress factors, both abiotic and biotic. Research has so far been limited to responses to …

The modern agricultural system has issues with the reduction of agricultural productivity due
to a wide range of abiotic and biotic stresses. It is also expected that in the future the entire …

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 …

Plants have the ability to recognize and respond to a multitude of microorganisms.
Recognition of pathogens results in a massive reprogramming of the plant cell to activate …

Sugars play important roles as both nutrients and regulatory molecules throughout plant life.
Sugar metabolism and signalling function in an intricate network with numerous hormones …

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 …
