Sugar sensing and sugar-mediated signal transduction in plants.

摘要

A discussion of sugar sensing and sugar-mediated signal transduction in plants under the following headings: sugar sensing in yeast and animals; sugar sensing in plants; the hexokinase (HXK)-sensing system; sugar transporters and sugar sensing; sucrose sensing; how is the signal transduced?; sugar-sensing mutants; and future prospects. Particular reference is given to studies on wildtype and transgenic Arabidopsis thaliana.
