Brassinosteroids promote sugar synthesis by inhibiting BIN2 phosphorylation of phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase
Sugar is both an essential energy source and the major substrate for cell wall biosynthesis during plant growth, yet how growth-promoting hormones regulate sugar synthesis remains unclear. Here we show that the brassinosteroids (BRs) promote gluconeogenic and photosynthetic sugar synthesis by activating phosphoenolpyru...
