Exogenous trehalose improves growth under limiting nitrogen through upregulation of nitrogen metabolism

Abstract Background The trehalose (Tre) pathway has strong effects on growth and development in plants through regulation of carbon metabolism. Altering either Tre or trehalose 6-phosphate (T6P) can improve growth and productivity of plants as observed under different water availability. As yet, the...
