Biological nitrogen fixation in rhizobia occurs primarily in root or stem nodules and is
induced by the bacteria present in legume plants. This symbiotic process has fascinated …

The production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in plants is part of the normal metabolism
of chloroplasts, mitochondria and peroxisomes; however, the exposure to environmental …

Thallium (Tl+) is a trace metal with extreme toxicity and is highly soluble in water, posing a
great risk to ecological and human safety. This work aimed to investigate the role played by …

Flowering plants have evolved numerous intraspecific and interspecific prezygotic
reproductive barriers to prevent production of unfavourable offspring. Within a species, self …

Plants are exposed to diverse abiotic stresses like drought, heat, salinity, and high-metal
concentrations at different stages of their life cycle. As protection against stress, plants …

Plant responses to abiotic stress include various modifications in amino acid metabolism. By
using a hydroponic culture system, we systematically investigate modification in amino acid …

Species that propagate by sexual reproduction actively guard against the fertilization of an
egg by multiple sperm (polyspermy). Flowering plants rely on pollen tubes to transport their …

Plants are active contributors to the betterment of human living conditions and play a critical
role in ecological systems. During the process of plant growth and development, several …

Nitrogen is a limiting resource for plant growth in most terrestrial habitats since large
amounts of nitrogen are needed to synthesize nucleic acids and proteins. Among the 21 …

Calcium is a ubiquitous second messenger that mediates plant responses to developmental
and environmental cues. Calcium‐dependent protein kinases (CDPK s) are key actors of …
