Abstract
A protein kinase that plays a key role in the global control of plant carbon metabolism is SnRK1 (sucrose non-fermenting-1-related protein kinase 1), so-called because of its homology and functional similarity with sucrose non-fermenting 1 (SNF1) of yeast. This article reviews studies on the characterization of SnRK1 gene families, SnRK1 regulation and function, interacting proteins, and the effects of manipulating SnRK1 activity on carbon metabolism and development.
