报告内容简介:

Plant cell constantly gauge nutrients availability, hormones, environmental conditions etc. to decide whether to grow by synthesizing new cellular components or to survive by degrading (recycling) old cellular components, which are mediated by master sensor kinases such sucrose nonfermentation1-related kinase1(SnRK1) and target of rapamycin (TOR). Our published research and recent progress showed mechanisms in which sugar plays dual roles in the biosynthesis of lipids through SnRK1. In this presentation, I will also present my latest progress on deciphering TOR signaling by using a plant growth system that responds to high ambient temperature.
