Abstract:
Sucrose non-fermenting kinase 1 (SnRK1) has emerged as a pivotal activator of the autophagy pathway; however, the reciprocal influence of autophagy on SnRK1 remains unknown. Yang et al. have recently revealed the existence of a feedback loop connecting autophagy and SnRK1 in terrestrial plants, involving the novel FCS-like zinc finger (FLZ) class of proteins.
