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 …

Abstract Trehalose 6-phosphate (Tre6P), the intermediate of trehalose biosynthesis, is an
essential signal metabolite in plants, linking growth and development to carbon status. The …

Trehalose is a quantitatively important compatible solute and stress protectant in many
organisms, including green algae and primitive plants. These functions have largely been …

Global socioeconomic developments create strong incentives for farmers to shift from
transplanted to direct-seeded rice (DSR) as a means of intensification and economization 1 …

Maize, the highest-yielding cereal crop worldwide, is particularly susceptible to drought
during its 2-to 3-week flowering period. Many genetic engineering strategies for drought …

Trehalose plays an important role in metabolic regulation and abiotic stress tolerance in a
variety of organisms. In plants, its biosynthesis is catalyzed by two key enzymes: trehalose-6 …

The human population is increasing at an alarming rate, whereas at the same time
agricultural productivity is decreasing due to the effect of various environmental problems. In …

Trehalose metabolism and signaling is an area of emerging significance. In less than a
decade our views on the importance of trehalose metabolism and its role in plants have …

The disaccharide trehalose is involved in stress response in many organisms. However, in
plants, its precise role remains unclear, although some data indicate that trehalose has a …

To understand the functions of transcription factor OsNAC5 in response to abiotic stress, we
generated transgenic rice plants with knockdown OsNAC5 by RNA-interfered (RNAi) and …
