A high level of sugars in plant tissues enhances the plant immune response against fungal pathogens. Sugars probably function as priming molecules, leading to pathogen-associated molecular pattern (PAMP)-triggered immunity (PTI) and effector-triggered immunity (ETI) in …

Plant carbohydrates, in the form of sugars are the energy source by which all plants carry out their major functions. All plants must photosynthesize, transpire and respire to survive. Sugar plays a vital role in all of these.

Plant SWEETs are sugar transporters important in plant development, plant–pathogen, and symbiotic interactions, but also in abiotic stress response and other plant cellular and physiological processes.

To combat such stresses, plants have developed complex and well-coordinated molecular and metabolic networks encompassing genes, metabolites, and acclimation responses. These modulate growth, photosynthesis, osmotic maintenance, and carbohydrate homeostasis.

Autotrophic organisms synthesize sugars, principally sucrose in the reactions of photosynthesis. This ancient primary process drives the growth and development of all organisms as a source of energy and carbon source.

Therefore, this review aims at extending the current concept of antioxidants functioning during abiotic stress, with special focus on the emanate role of sugars as true ROS scavengers. Examples are given based on their cellular location, as …

Nov 20, 2020 · In this review, we have presented an up-to-date analysis of the sugar homeostasis under abiotic stresses as well as describe the structure and functions of sugar transporters under abiotic stresses.

Dec 14, 2021 · While sugar metabolism, transport and signaling are key processes involved in biomass production, yield and quality, sugars also play a crucial role in the adaptation of plants to the environment.

Jan 9, 2025 · Explore how sucrose influences plant metabolism, transport, and growth regulation, highlighting its essential role in plant development. Sucrose is a fundamental carbohydrate that plays an essential role in plant physiology, influencing various …

Jan 5, 2025 · Plant sugar transporter proteins play a key role in facilitating the long-distance translocation of sugars from source to sink organs, thereby controlling their distribution and accumulation across the plant.
