TL;DR: The data show a correlation between T6P and sucrose overall that belies a marked effect of tissue type and developmental stage on T 6P content, consistent with tissue-specific regulation of SnRK1 by T6p in wheat grain.

TL;DR: It is concluded that the T6P/SnRK1 signaling pathway responds to Suc induced by sink restriction that enables growth recovery following relief of limitations such as low temperature.

TL;DR: Inhibition of SnRK1 by R5P in wheat grain preparations can be explained by the presence of green pericarp tissue; this exposes an important caveat in the assessment of potential protein kinase inhibitors.

TL;DR: Drought tolerance mechanisms involving osmotic adjustment and an increase in cell membrane integrity allowed Jemalong plants to still maintain a quite elevated level of net CO2 fixation rate under severe water deficit conditions, and may contribute to identify useful physiological traits for breeding programs concerning drought adaptation in legumes.

TL;DR: This article summarizes the work of the Comparative Cognitive Testing Workgroup, an international coalition of survey methodologists interested in developing an evidence-based methodology for examining the comparability of survey questions within cross-cultural or multinational contexts.
