Description
Wenjun Zhu and co-authors study a gene called TC1a and its grip on sugar and starch making in the model plant Arabidopsis. Their 2024 paper notes that the gene's protein family helps plants with immunity and drought, but its role in sugar control was unknown. The team combined gene editing, gene activity scans, and chemical profiling to trace that role.
Plants with extra TC1a grew shorter roots and stems, flowered less, and developed smaller leaves. Twelve genes in the sugar and starch pathways changed activity. Six sugars and related chemicals shifted in amount. The results show TC1a regulates how the plant builds and stores energy.
