One major regulatory system involved in metabolic control is the so-called sucrose-trehalose 6-phosphate (Tre6P) nexus. In this system, Tre6P mirrors sucrose levels and acts as a signal of sucrose availability, regulating its synthesis and consumption to maintain sucrose within optimal levels. This is partly achieved by the diversion of photoassimilates towards organic and amino-acid synthesis when sucrose levels (and in consequence Tre6P) rise, thereby reducing further production of sucrose.(...)"engSnRK1 kinaseThe SnRK1 kinase: novel regulatory mechanisms and its role in metabolic homeostasisdoctoral thesis101726490
