Nitrate assimilation is a key process for nitrogen (N) acquisition in green microalgae. Among
Chlorophyte algae, Chlamydomonas reinhardtii has resulted to be a good model system to …

Melatonin (N-acetyl-5-methoxytryptamine) is a nontoxic biological molecule produced in a
pineal gland of animals and different tissues of plants. It is an important secondary …

The physiological relationship between abiotic stress in plants and polyamines was reported
more than 40 years ago. Ever since there has been a debate as to whether increased …

Flooding is detrimental for nearly all higher plants, including crops. The compound stress
elicited by slow gas exchange and low light levels under water is responsible for both a …

Plant-parasitic nematodes (PPNs), such as root-knot nematodes (RKNs) and cyst
nematodes (CNs), are among the most devastating pests in agriculture. RKNs and CNs …

Nitric oxide (NO), a gaseous, redox‐active small molecule, is gradually becoming
established as a central regulator of growth, development, immunity and environmental …

Nitric oxide (NO), a non-charged, small, gaseous free-radical, is a signaling molecule in all
plant cells. Several studies have proposed multifarious physiological roles for NO, from seed …

The natural environment of plants is composed of a complex set of abiotic stresses and their
ability to respond to these stresses is highly flexible and finely balanced through the …

In plant cells the free radical nitric oxide (NO) interacts both with anti-as well as prooxidants.
This review provides a short survey of the central roles of ascorbate and glutathione—the …

Nitric oxide (NO) is an important signaling compound in prokaryotes and eukaryotes. In
plants, NO regulates critical developmental transitions and stress responses. Here, we …
