The seed constitutes the main vector of plant propagation and it is a critical development
stage with many specificities. Seed longevity is a major challenge for the conservation of …

Different abiotic stresses inhibit or delay the development and growth of plants. The most
crucial step of plant life cycle, which ensures the survival of the next generation, is seed …

This chapter proposes that whether reactive oxygen species (ROS) act as signal transducing
or damaging molecules is mainly dependent on their quality and second, on their quantity …

The influence of salicylic acid (SA) on elicitation of defense mechanisms in Arabidopsis
(Arabidopsis thaliana) seeds and seedlings was assessed by physiological measurements …

A variety of mechanisms have been proposed to account for the extension of life span in
seeds (seed longevity). In this work, we used Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) seeds as a …

A comparative study of proteome and transcriptome changes during Medicago truncatula
(cultivar Jemalong) seed development has been carried out. Transcript and protein profiles …

The mechanisms controlling seed dormancy in Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) have
been characterized by proteomics using the dormant (D) accession Cvi originating from the …

Although a wealth of information is available on the induction of one or several drought‐
related responses in different species, little is known of how their timing, modulation and …

Nos últimos anos registou-se um interesse inusitado da sociedade por uma tecnologia
desenvolvida com a finalidade de melhorar as características genéticas das plantas, um …

Seed proteome analysis by 2D IEF/SDS–PAGE techniques is challenging for the intrinsic
difficulties related to quantitative disparity of the seed proteins, ie storage and non-storage …
