"The ability to sense carbon availability and dynamically adjust growth through
integrated sugar-sensing pathways is essential for plant adaptation and survival. A key
component of these pathways is the signaling molecule trehalose 6-phosphate (T6P).
T6P reflects sucrose availability and maintains sucrose homeostasis by coordinating
its synthesis, allocation, and utilization. Accordingly, T6P is a key positive regulator of
growth and developmental transitions in sucrose-demanding sink tissues.(...)"
