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 …

Abstract Trehalose 6-phosphate (Tre6P), the intermediate of trehalose biosynthesis, is an
essential signal metabolite in plants, linking growth and development to carbon status. The …

Daylength, a seasonal and latitudinal variable, exerts a substantial impact on plant growth.
However, the relationship between daylength and growth is nonproportional, suggesting the …

Trehalose is a quantitatively important compatible solute and stress protectant in many
organisms, including green algae and primitive plants. These functions have largely been …

Photosynthesis-related pathways are regarded as a promising avenue for crop
improvement. Whilst empirical studies have shown that photosynthetic efficiency is higher in …

Starch commands a central role in the carbon budget of the majority of plants on earth, and
its biological role changes during development and in response to the environment …

Photosynthetic carbon converted to sucrose is vital for plant growth. Sucrose acts as a
signaling molecule and a primary energy source that coordinates the source and sink …

Leaf area growth determines the light interception capacity of a crop and is often used as a
surrogate for plant growth in high-throughput phenoty** systems. The relationship …

Photoperiod-measuring mechanisms allow organisms to anticipate seasonal changes to
align reproduction and growth with appropriate times of the year. This review provides …

Starch serves functions that range over a timescale of minutes to years, according to the cell
type from which it is derived. In guard cells, starch is rapidly mobilized by the synergistic …
