Editor’s summary
Trehalose is a disaccharide that is found in a wide variety of species but whose functions are not always clear. The authors describe a novel assay, based on the use of recombinant bacterial trehalase, which is both sensitive and highly specific for trehalose. The method has been validated by studying diurnal patterns of trehalose content of Arabidopsis leaves and the effect of the maize ramosa3 mutant on trehalose levels in inflorescence primordia.
