Sugar sensing and signalling networks in plants.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Plant sugar signalling operates in a complex network with plant-specific hormone signalling pathways. Hexokinase was identified as an evolutionarily conserved glucose sensor that integrates light, hormone and nutrient signalling to control plant growth and development.

Why and How Do Plant Cells Sense Sugars?
0305-7364/0 * For corre menico@unim The ability to sense sugars is crucial for the modulation of gene expression in plants. Despite the importance of this phenomenon, our knowledge of sugar sensing in plants is scant. Several valuable hypotheses have been put forward based on the extensive knowledge of sugar sensing in yeast. In recent years, tests of these hypotheses have shown that hexokinase...
متن کاملIs hexokinase really a sugar sensor in plants?
The molecular mechanisms by which plant cells sense sugar levels are not understood, but current models (adapted from models for sugar sensing in yeast) favour hexokinase as the primary sugar sensor. However, the hypothesis that yeast hexokinase has a signalling function has not been supported by more recent studies and the idea that hexokinase is involved in sugar sensing in plants has yet to ...
متن کاملBefore and beyond ABA: upstream sensing and internal signals that determine ABA accumulation and response under abiotic stress.
Sensing and signalling events that detect abiotic stress-induced changes in plant water status and initiate downstream stress responses such as ABA (abscisic acid) accumulation and osmoregulation remain uncharacterized in plants. Although conclusive results are lacking, recent results from plants, and analogies to signalling in other organisms, suggest possible mechanisms for sensing altered wa...
متن کاملTrehalose metabolism and glucose sensing in plants.
Plants sense and respond to changes in carbon and nitrogen metabolites during development and growth according to the internal needs of their metabolism. Sugar-sensing allows plants to switch off photosynthesis when carbohydrates are abundant. These processes involve regulation of gene and protein activity to allow plants the efficient use of energy storage. Besides being a key element in carbo...
متن کاملGenetic approaches to understanding sugar-response pathways.
Plants as photoautotrophic organisms are able to produce the carbohydrates they require and have developed mechanisms to co-ordinate carbohydrate production and its metabolism. Carbohydrate-derived signals regulate the expression of genes involved in both photosynthesis and metabolism, and control carbohydrate partitioning. A number of genetic approaches have been initiated to understand sugar-...
