Plant health in natural environments depends on interactions with complex and dynamic
communities comprising macro-and microorganisms. While many studies have provided …

The sessile nature of plants' life is endowed with a highly evolved defense system to adapt
and survive under environmental extremes. To combat such stresses, plants have …

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

Starch is a significant store of sugars, and the starch-sugar interconversion in source and
sink tissues plays a profound physiological role in all plants. In this review, we discuss how …

The soil contributes to the main pool of crucial mineral nutrients for plant growth. These
essential nutrients play an important role in the formation of plant biomolecules, perform …

The SWEET (sugars will eventually be exported transporter) family was identified as a new
class of sugar transporters that function as bidirectional uniporters/facilitators and facilitate …

Soluble sugars serve five main purposes in multicellular organisms: as sources of carbon
skeletons, osmolytes, signals, and transient energy storage and as transport molecules …

Cellular sugar status is essentially maintained during normal growth conditions but is
impacted negatively during various environmental perturbations. Drought presents one such …

Plant growth and productivity are adversely affected by various abiotic stressors and plants
develop a wide range of adaptive mechanisms to cope with these adverse conditions …

Intensive research over the last decade has gradually unraveled the mechanisms that
underlie how plants react to environmental adversity. Genes involved in many of the …
