Abstract excerpt
Plants both produce and utilize carbohydrates and have developed mechanisms to regulate their sugar status and co-ordinate carbohydrate partitioning. High sugar levels result in a feedback inhibition of photosynthesis and an induction of storage processes. We used a genetic approach to isolate components of the signalling pathway regulating the induction of starch biosynthesis. The regulatory sequences of the...
