ABSTRACT Strigolactones (SLs) are root‐to‐shoot phytohormones that regulate tillering (branching) and root development. Sugar, as an essential energy substance and signalling molecule, plays a fundamental role in the growth and development of plants. However, the molecular mechanisms by which SL directly regulates sugar allocation to control tillering ...

ABSTRACT As the staple food of over half the world's population, rice with a high resistant starch (RS) content may be beneficial in the dietary prevention of diabetes and hyperlipidemia. Mutating key enzymes in starch metabolism to increase the RS content has been successful in other crops.

Background A previous clinical study reported that the addition of an amylopectin/chromium complex (ACr; Velositol®) to 6 g of whey protein (WP) significantly enhanced muscle protein synthesis (MPS). Branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) are also well-known

ABSTRACT Rice cooking and eating quality (CEQ), a core agronomic trait tied to consumer preference and market value, is regulated by endosperm starch, protein, and lipid metabolism; this review synthesizes advances in its molecular mechanisms, focusing on genetic determinants and regulatory networks of storage substances.

ABSTRACT Solanum tuberosum L. (potato) is a key food crop, with its tubers serving as an important food source worldwide. Tuber development is a tightly regulated process involving the transition of a hooked stolon (a modified stem) to a tuber following the perception of mobile signals within the stolon tip. While genes like FLOWERING LOCUS T homologue

ABSTRACT The ripening of climacteric fruits is characterised by a sharp increase in ethylene production, coinciding with the conversion of starch into soluble sugars. However, the regulatory interplay between ethylene and starch degradation in apple remains largely unclear. Here, we report a negative correlation between starch accumulation and ethylene

ABSTRACT Phosphate (Pi) is an essential macronutrient for plant development that is often limited in soil. Plants have evolved dynamic biochemical, physiological and morphological adaptations to cope with Pi deficiency, known as the Pi starvation response (PSR).
