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 …

SUCROSE-NON-FERMENTING1-RELATED KINASE1 (SnRK1) belongs to a family of
protein kinases that originated in the earliest eukaryotes and plays a central role in energy …

Research in the past decade has uncovered new and surprising information about the
pathways of starch synthesis and degradation. This includes the discovery of previously …

It has been nearly 300 years since the first scientific demonstration of a self-sustaining
circadian clock in plants. It has become clear that plants are richly rhythmic, and many …

Plant biostimulants are compounds, living microorganisms, or their constituent parts that
alter plant development programs. The impact of biostimulants is manifested in several …

Highlights•While SnRK1/SNF1/AMPK structure and function are well conserved, plants have
modified SnRK1 regulation to better fit their unique lifestyle.•Rather than being activated by …

Seed germination and postgerminative growth require the precise coordination of multiple
intrinsic and environmental signals. The phytohormone abscisic acid (ABA) suppresses …

Optimizing the perception of external cues and regulating physiology accordingly help
plants to cope with the constantly changing environmental conditions to which they are …

The clockwork of plant circadian oscillators has been resolved through investigations in
Arabidopsis thaliana. The circadian oscillator is an important regulator of much of plant …

Endogenous circadian clock integrates cyclic signals of environment and daily and seasonal
behaviors of organisms to achieve spatiotemporal synchronization, which greatly improves …
