In higher plants, invertases hydrolyze sucrose (Suc), the major end product of
photosynthesis, into glucose (Glc) and fructose (Fru), which are used as nutrients, energy …

Fructans and raffinose family oligosaccharides (RFOs) are the two most important classes of
water-soluble carbohydrates in plants. Recent progress is summarized on their metabolism …

Sugars play important roles as both nutrients and regulatory molecules throughout plant life.
Sugar metabolism and signalling function in an intricate network with numerous hormones …

Both sorbitol and sucrose are imported into apple fruit from leaves. The metabolism of
sorbitol and sucrose fuels fruit growth and development, and accumulation of sugars in fruit …

Sugars are involved in many metabolic and signalling pathways in plants. Sugar signals
may also contribute to immune responses against pathogens and probably function as …

Plants are sessile and sensitive organisms known to possess various regulatory
mechanisms for defending themselves under stress environments. Fructans are fructose …

Glycoside hydrolases (GH) have been shown to play unique roles in various biological
processes like the biosynthesis of glycans, cell wall metabolism, plant defence, signalling …

Invertases catalyze the irreversible hydrolysis of sucrose to glucose and fructose. Plants
contain two unrelated families of these enzymes: acid forms that derive from periplasmic …

Melatonin has been reported to promote plant growth and development. Our experiments
with Arabidopsis thaliana showed that exogenous applications of this molecule mediated …

The wall‐associated kinases (WAK), a family of five proteins that contain extracellular
domains that can be linked to pectin molecules of the cell wall, span the plasma membrane …
