Sugars play a key role in fruit quality, as they directly influence taste, and thus consumer
acceptance. Carbohydrates are the main resources needed by the plant for carbon and …

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 …

In plants, carbon (C) molecules provide building blocks for biomass production, fuel for
energy, and exert signalling roles to shape development and metabolism. Accordingly, plant …

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 …

Like all organisms, plants require energy for growth. They achieve this by absorbing light
and fixing it into a usable, chemical form via photosynthesis. The resulting carbohydrate …

Sucrose cleavage is vital to multicellular plants, not only for the allocation of crucial carbon
resources but also for the initiation of hexose-based sugar signals in importing structures …

Cold temperatures are the cause of enormous agricultural losses, especially in sub-tropical
and temperate grain crops. The reproductive period is a vital phase in the life cycle of all …

Coordination of development with the availability of nutrients, such as soluble sugars, may
help ensure an adequate supply of building materials and energy with which to carry out …

Fleshy fruits are classically divided into climacteric and nonclimacteric types. It has long
been thought that the ripening of climacteric and nonclimacteric fruits is regulated by …
