Information concerning the sugar status of plant cells is of great importance during a11 stages of the plant life cycle. The availability of or lack of sugars triggers many metabolic and developmental responses, and it is not surprising, therefore, that sugars profoundly affect the expression of a large number of genes (for review, see Koch, 1996; Graham, 1996). Sugar sensing occurs at the leve...

This paper makes two interlinked arguments. First, that the ‘concept of home’ – focus a burgeoning literature within housing studies meets Gallie’s conditions for an ‘essentially contested...
