Trehalose-6-phosphate integrates metabolism and root development
Plant Science Research WeeklyHow do plants decide where to invest their resources when nutrients and energy are limited? A new study highlights trehalose-6-phosphate (Tre6P), a key sugar-status signal, as a critical coordinator. Previous work demonstrated that transgenic plants expressing modified versions of TPS1, the enzyme responsible…

Rewiring sugar signaling for global agriculture: A decade of progress in harnessing the T6P pathway
While sugar signaling plays a crucial role in grain filling and ultimately determines grain crop yield, direct genetic manipulation often results in pleiotropic effects and raises legislative…
