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 …

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 …

Ear length (EL), which is controlled by quantitative trait loci (QTLs), is an important
component of grain yield and as such is a key target trait in maize breeding. However, very …

High-stress resistance and yield are major goals in crop cultivation, which can be addressed
by modifying plant architecture. Significant progress has been made in recent years to …

Phytohormones are small chemicals critical for plant development and adaptation to a
changing environment. Strigolactones (SLs), carotenoid-derived small signalling molecules …

Plant architecture is controlled by several endogenous signals including hormones and
sugars. However, only little information is known about the nature and roles of the sugar …

Anthocyanin is a vital indicator for both fruit nutritional and commercial value. Anthocyanin
accumulation is a surprisingly complicated process mediated by multiple networks …
