The trehalose 6‐phosphate pathway impacts vegetative phase change in Arabidopsis thaliana

open access: yesThe Plant Journal, Volume 104, Issue 3, Page 768-780, November 2020., 2020
Summary The vegetative phase change marks the beginning of the adult phase in the life cycle of plants and is associated with a gradual decline in the microRNA miR156, in response to sucrose status. Trehalose 6‐phosphate (T6P) is a sugar molecule with signaling function reporting the current sucrose state.
