Recent advances in sugar signal transduction in higher plants
Acting as energy source,metabolite,or signaling molecule,sugar is very important for plant growth and development.Sugar is involved in flowering,senescence,embryogenesis,seed germination,pollen germination,root development,branching and tillering,seedling development,and stress tolerance via complex networks.In recent years,some plant sugar sensors and downstream signaling players have been identified,and the sugar signal transduction pathways in plants have been revealed through forward and reverse genetics approaches.In this paper,recent advances in the synthesis and metabolism of sugar,the physiological function of sugar,sugar signal transduction,and the crosstalks between sugar and phy-tohormones such as abscisic acid,ethylene,auxin,gibberellin,brassinosteroids and other hormone sig-nals in higher plants are reviewed,and future research is prospected.
