Determination of trehalose-6-phosphate in Arabidopsis thaliana seedlings by hydrophilic-interaction liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry
A hydrophilic-interaction chromatography (HILIC) method coupled to electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) was developed for the determination of trehalose-6-phophate (Tre6P) in Arabidopsis thaliana se...

Open AccessInteraction between sugar and abscisic acid signalling during early seedling development in Arabidopsis
Sugars regulate important processes and affect the expression of many genes in plants. Characterization of Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) mutants with altered sugar sensitivity revealed the function of abscis...

Sugar effects on early seedling development in Arabidopsis
Sugars affect a broad variety of processes, from growth and development to gene expression. Although it has already been shown that sugars act as signaling molecules, little is known about the mechanisms by wh...

Glucose delays seed germination in Arabidopsis thaliana
Here we report that glucose delays germination of Arabidopsis thaliana (L.) Heynh. seeds at concentrations below those known to inhibit early seedling development. This inhibition acts on embryo growth and is ind...

Accumulation of Fructose Polymers in Transgenic Tobacco
Fructan, a polyfructose molecule, is a storage compound in a limited number of plant specks. Usually these species accumulate fructan with a low degree of polymerization (DP) and most of these plants have prop...
