A comprehensive article that presents extensive characterisation of trehalose pathway genes across kingdoms. Importantly, it concludes that all plant trehalose pathway genes are under evolutionary selection pressure, emphasizing their biological importance.

Trehalose 6-phosphate regulates starch synthesis via post-translational redox activation of ADP-glucose pyrophosphorylase. Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 102 (2005) 11118-11123. This work establishes T6P as a signal that conveys information on the sucrose status of the cytosol to the chloroplast. High cytosolic sucrose redox activates ADP-glucose pyrophosphorylase and starch synthesis via T6P.

Sugar-induced increases in trehalose 6-phosphate are correlated with redox activation of ADPglucose pyrophosphorylase and higher rates of starch synthesis in Arabidopsis thaliana. Biochem J 397 (2006) 139-148. The authors confirm evidence from previous studies that established T6P as a signal molecule that regulates starch synthesis and responds to sugar supply but, importantly, they also present technical improvements and new methodology for the measurement of T6P.
