As sessile oxygenic organisms with a plastic developmental programme, plants are uniquely
positioned to exploit reactive oxygen species (ROS) as powerful signals. Plants harbor …

Starch commands a central role in the carbon budget of the majority of plants on earth, and
its biological role changes during development and in response to the environment …

Since the industrial revolution, the production, and consequently the emission of metals, has
increased exponentially, overwhelming the natural cycles of metals in many ecosystems …

Background Productive agriculture needs a large amount of expensive nitrogenous
fertilizers. Improving nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) of crop plants is thus of key importance …

Reversible redox post-translational modifications such as oxido-reduction of disulfide bonds,
S-nitrosylation, and S-glutathionylation, play a prominent role in the regulation of cell …

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) have multifaceted roles in the orchestration of plant gene
expression and gene-product regulation. Cellular redox homeostasis is considered to be an …

Abiotic stress poses major problems to agriculture and increasing efforts are being made to
understand plant stress response and tolerance mechanisms and to develop new tools that …

Thioredoxins are ubiquitous enzymes catalyzing reversible disulfide-bond formation to
regulate structure and function of many proteins in diverse organisms. In recent years …

Abstract Significance: Peroxiredoxins (Prxs) are thiol peroxidases with multiple functions in
the antioxidant defense and redox signaling network of the cell. Our progressing …

Disulfide bond formation is probably involved in the biogenesis of approximately one third of
human proteins. A central player in this essential process is protein disulfide isomerase or …
