Sugars are the main carbon and energy source in cells, but they can also act as signaling
molecules that affect the whole plant life cycle. Certain tissues can produce sugars and …

Sequencing data from 10 species show that a plant hexokinase (HXK) family contains 5–11
genes. Functionally, a given family can include metabolic catalysts, glucose signaling …

Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) hexokinase (AtHXK1) encodes a dual-function enzyme
that mediates sugar sensing in addition to its involvement in hexose phosphorylation activity …

Previous studies have revealed a central role of Arabidopsis thaliana hexokinases (AtHXK1
and AtHXK2) in the glucose repression of photosynthetic genes and early seedling …

Hexose sugars, such as glucose and fructose produced in plants, are ubiquitous in most
organisms and are the origin of most of the organic matter found in nature. To be utilized …

The effects of manipulating nutrient supply on plant growth and development have long
been known. However, it is only recently that these effects have been understood to consist …

Key message Here, we used a hxk1 mutant in the Col-0 background. We demonstrated that
HXK1 regulates cell proliferation and expansion early during leaf development, and that …

Hexokinase (HXK) is present in all virtually living organisms and is central to carbohydrate
metabolism catalysing the ATP‐dependent phosphorylation of hexoses. In plants, HXKs are …

Hexokinase (HK) occurs in all phyla, as an enzyme of the glycolytic pathway. Its importance
in plant metabolism has emerged with compelling evidence that its preferential substrate …

All living organisms operate a variety of metabolic pathways that enable them to be self-
sustainable with basic nutrients. To maintain the balance of metabolite and energy levels …
