The Role of Sugar Signaling in Regulating Plant Fatty Acid Synthesis

Photosynthates such as glucose, sucrose, and some of their derivatives play dual roles as metabolic intermediates and signaling molecules that influence plant cell metabolism. Such sugars provide substrates for de novo fatty acid (FA) biosynthesis. However, compared with the well-defined examples of...
