Trehalose accumulation in rice plants confers high tolerance levels to different abiotic stresses.
Trehalose is a nonreducing disaccharide of glucose that functions as a compatible solute in the stabilization of biological structures under abiotic stress in bacteria, fungi, and invertebrates. With the notable exception of the desiccation-tolerant "resurrection plants," trehalose is not thought to accumulate to detectable levels in most plants. We report here the regulated overexpression of E...
متن کاملTrehalose metabolism in plants.
It has long been thought that the biosynthesis of trehalose, a sugar present in all kingdoms, is absent from the vast majority of higher plants. However, recent experiments have indicated that genes from Arabidopsis are able to complement yeast strains deficient in trehalose metabolism. In yeast, trehalose has been suggested as a regulatory component in the control of glycolytic flux and in a v...

متن کاملTrehalose metabolism in Arabidopsis: occurrence of trehalose and molecular cloning and characterization of trehalose-6-phosphate synthase homologues.
Axenically grown Arabidopsis thaliana plants were analysed for the occurrence of trehalose. Using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis, trehalose was unambiguously identified in extracts from Arabidopsis inflorescences. In a variety of organisms, the synthesis of trehalose is catalysed by trehalose-6-phosphate synthase (TPS; EC 2.4.1.15) and trehalose-6-phosphate phosphatase (T...
متن کاملTrehalose Glycolipids have Amazing Function
Sugars are the OPERATING SYSTEM (OS) of the body, processing DNA data, thought, and all cellular communication. Glycomics, the science of sugars, may be thousands of times more complex than the genome project. The eight Royal Sugars used to construct glycoprotein receptor sites that coat every healthy human cell were described by Robert K. Murray, M.D., PhD, in Harper’s Biochemistry first in 19...
