Seeds and storage organs rich in glucose products are important food sources for humans and animals.
In cold or dry conditions a plant may convert glucose into osmoprotectants to help cells tolerate stress.
Glucose is used to synthesise secondary metabolites such as alkaloids, terpenes and phenolics that serve defence or signalling roles.
During active growth, glucose supplies both carbon skeletons and energy to synthesise new cells.
During germination, a seed uses stored glucose to supply energy for growth before it can photosynthesise.
Plants convert glucose into sugars and polymers that affect crop yield and quality.
Starch is the typical form in which many plants store glucose in leaves and roots.
Glucose is joined into long chains to form cellulose because cellulose is needed to make strong cell walls.
When light or CO2 is in short supply, plants may convert excess glucose into starch to save it for later when conditions improve.
Plants use glucose to produce nectar and fruits that attract pollinators and seed dispersers.
Glucose can be used to synthesise cellulose for new cell walls during cell division and expansion.
