A paper describes how the moving parts of a particular plant protein control whether plants can grow and make energy-intensive products such as oil or instead put in place a series of steps to conserve precious resources. The study focuses specifically on how the molecular machinery is regulated by a molecule that rises and falls with the level of sugar plants main energy source.
