The evolutionarily highly conserved SNF1-related protein kinase (SnRK1) protein kinase is a metabolic master regulator in plants, balancing the critical energy consumption between growth- and stress response-related metabolic pathways. While the regulation of the mammalian [AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK)] and yeast (SNF1) orthologues of SnRK1 is well-characterised, the regulation of SnRK1 ...
