Abstract excerpt
Sugars acting as signalling molecules regulate many developmental processes in plants, including lateral and adventitious root production. Turanose, a non-metabolizable sucrose analogue, profoundly affects the growth pattern of Arabidopsis seedlings. Turanose-treated seedlings are characterized by a very short primary root and a short hypocotyl showing the production of adventitious roots. A turanose-insensitive...
