Trehalose metabolism in a plant cell, its role in carbohydrate metabolism and plant growth and development. Trehalose-6-phosphate (T6P) originates from the sucrose metabolic pathway. T6P is produced by the enzyme TREHALOSE-6-PHOSPHATE SYNTHASE (TPS) using UDP-glucose (UDPG) and glucose-6-phosphate (G6P), which is then transformed to trehalose by TREHALOSE-6-PHOSPHATE PHOSPHATASE (TPP) in the cytoplasm. Trehalose is cleaved into two molecules of glucose by TREHALASE1 (TRE1). The carbohydrate accumulation of plants was different under saline-alkali stress and exogenous trehalose
