Abstract excerpt
ABI4 encodes an AP2 family transcription factor that is a central regulator in sugar responsive gene expression in plants. Sugar-induced ABI4 regulates plant genes essential for photosynthesis, and carbon, nitrogen and lipid metabolism. ABI4 activity is induced via the ABA-mediated sugar signalling pathway, which is initiated by the glucose sensing protein hexokinase. Natural variation in sugar sensitivity was...
