Abstract Sugars Will Eventually be Exported Transporters (SWEETs) have important roles in
numerous physiological mechanisms where sugar efflux is critical, including phloem …

Growth–defense tradeoffs are thought to occur in plants due to resource restrictions, which
demand prioritization towards either growth or defense, depending on external and internal …

Sucrose metabolism plays pivotal roles in development, stress response, and yield
formation, mainly by generating a range of sugars as metabolites to fuel growth and …

Plants are constantly exposed to microorganisms in the environment and, as a result, have
evolved intricate mechanisms to recognize and defend themselves against potential …

Source-to-sink transport of sugar is one of the major determinants of plant growth and relies
on the efficient and controlled distribution of sucrose (and some other sugars such as …

Considering global climate change, the incidence of combined drought and heat stress is
likely to increase in the future and will considerably influence plant-pathogen interactions …

Increasing interest is devoted to carbohydrates for their roles in plant immunity. Some of
them are elicitors of plant defenses whereas other ones act as signaling molecules in a …

Sugars not only fuel cellular carbon and energy metabolism but also play pivotal roles as
signaling molecules. The experimental amenability of yeast as a unicellular model system …

In many plants, free proline accumulates in response to the imposition of a wide range of
biotic and abiotic stresses. Controversy has surrounded the extent to which this shift in …

Sucrose is produced in, and translocated from, photosynthetically active leaves (sources) to
support non-photosynthetic tissues (sinks), such as develo** seeds, fruits, and tubers …
