Genetic modification enhances crop yield and resource efficiency, suggesting trehalose 6-phosphate as a key regulator.
Crop breeding faces the challenge of balancing yield with resource efficiency and stress tolerance. The key regulatory metabolite trehalose 6-phosphate (T6P) integrates carbon status with growth and stress responses. Manipulating T6P levels through genetic modification or chemical intervention provides a powerful tool to tackle the growing challenges of crop production.
