Growth is a widely used term in plant science and ecology, but it can have different
meanings depending on the context and the spatiotemporal scale of analysis. At the …

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 …

Potential adverse effects of nanoplastics (NPs) on marine organisms have received
increased attention in recent years. In contrast, few data are available on terrestrial plants …

Plant responses to atmospheric carbon dioxide will be of great concern in the future, as
carbon dioxide concentrations ([CO2]) are predicted to continue to rise. Elevated [CO2] …

Soluble sugars, especially sucrose, glucose, and fructose, play an obviously central role in
plant structure and metabolism at the cellular and whole-organism levels. They are involved …

The loss of carbon from roots (rhizodeposition) and the consequent proliferation of
microorganisms in the surrounding soil, coupled with the physical presence of a root and …

The growing world population and global increases in the standard of living both result in an
increasing demand for food, feed and other plant‐derived products. In the coming years …

Root high plasticity is an adaptation to its changing environment. Water deficit impairs
growth, leading to sugar accumulation in leaves, part of which could be available to roots via …

Main conclusion The regulation of source-to-sink sucrose transport is associated with AtSUC
and AtSWEET sucrose transporters' gene expression changes in plants grown …

Sugars in plants, derived from photosynthesis, act as substrates for energy metabolism and
the biosynthesis of complex carbohydrates, providing sink tissues with the necessary …
