Defense against stress and active suppression of growth are two complementary strategies
by which plants respond to adverse environments. Although beneficial for plant survival …

The vast majority of agricultural land undergoes abiotic stress that can significantly reduce
agricultural yields. Understanding the mechanisms of plant defenses against stresses and …

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 …

The current trajectory for crop yields is insufficient to nourish the world's population by 2050.
Greater and more consistent crop production must be achieved against a backdrop of …

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 …

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 …

Abstract Tre6P (trehalose-6-phosphate) mediates sensing of carbon availability to maintain
sugar homeostasis in plants, which underpins crop yield and resilience. However, how …

Trehalose (Tre) is a non-reducing disaccharide found in many species, including bacteria,
fungi, invertebrates, yeast, and even plants, where it acts as an osmoprotectant, energy …

Plant roots explore the soil for water and nutrients, thereby determining plant fitness and
agricultural yield, as well as determining ground substructure, water levels, and global …

SUCROSE-NON-FERMENTING1-RELATED KINASE1 (SnRK1) belongs to a family of
protein kinases that originated in the earliest eukaryotes and plays a central role in energy …
