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 …

Plant cells are surrounded by cell walls, which are dynamic structures displaying a strictly
regulated balance between rigidity and flexibility. Walls are fairly rigid to provide support and …

The plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) and plant growth regulators (PGRs) can
be applied to improve the growth and productivity of plants, with potential to be used for …

Sucrose metabolism plays pivotal roles in development, stress response, and yield
formation, mainly by generating a range of sugars as metabolites to fuel growth and …

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

Calcium has well-documented roles in plant signaling, water relations and cell wall
interactions. Significant research into how calcium impacts these individual processes in …

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 …

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 …

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

Root growth and architecture are markedly influenced by both developmental and
environmental cues. Sugars integrate different stimuli and are essential building blocks and …
