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 …

Trehalose 6-phosphate (T6P) is a sugar signal of emerging significance. It is an essential
component of the mechanisms that coordinate metabolism with plant growth adaptation and …

Beyond their metabolic roles, sugars can also act as messengers in signal transduction.
Trehalose, a sugar found in many species of plants and animals, is a non-reducing …

Trehalose is a disaccharide that was initially thought to be rare in plants but now appears to
be ubiquitous. A recent study has established that the initial step in trehalose synthesis is …

Higher plants typically do not produce trehalose in large amounts, but their genome
sequences reveal large families of putative trehalose metabolism enzymes. An important …

Genes for trehalose metabolism are widespread in higher plants. Insight into the
physiological role of the trehalose pathway outside of resurrection plant species is lacking …

Trehalose is an alpha, alpha-1, 1-linked glucose disaccharide. In plants, trehalose is
synthesized in two steps. Firstly, trehalose-6-phosphate synthase (TPS) converts UDP …

BACKGROUND Trehalose (α-d-glucopyranosyl-1, 1-α-d-glucopyranoside) is a nonreducing
disaccharide formed through a 1-1 alpha bond linking two Glc moieties. A variety of …

It has recently emerged that many higher plants can synthesize trace amounts of trehalose.
In arabidopsis disruption of the first step of trehalose synthesis, catalysed by trehalose‐6 …

Trehalose accumulation has been documented in many organisms, such as bacteria and
fungi, where it serves a storage and stress-protection role. Although conspicuously absent in …
