More Than Metabolism: Jen Sheen on Glucose Action in Plants

In connection with this Emerging Research Front Paper in the field of Plant & Animal Science, Jen Sheen discusses her research on the complex role of glucose in plants. Through their study of a specific Arabidopsis enzyme involved in glucose metabolism, Sheen and her colleagues have enlarged the understanding of glucose's role not only in catalytic activities, but as a sensor and signaling agent involved in gene expression, cell growth, hormone response, and other essential plant activities.
