Land plants are exposed to not only biotic stresses such as pathogen infection and
herbivore wounding, but abiotic stresses such as cold, heat, drought, and salt. Elaborate …

Crop yield has been greatly enhanced during the last century. However, most elite cultivars
are adapted to temperate climates and are not well suited to more stressful conditions. In the …

Nitric oxide (NO) has emerged as an important signal molecule in plants, having myriad
roles in plant development. In addition, NO also orchestrates both biotic and abiotic stress …

In this year there is the 40th anniversary of the first publication of plant nitric oxide (NO)
emission by Lowell Klepper. In the decades since then numerous milestone discoveries …

Fatty acids and lipids, which are major and essential constituents of all plant cells, not only
provide structural integrity and energy for various metabolic processes but can also function …

Polyunsaturated fatty acids present in plant membranes react with reactive oxygen species
through so-called lipid oxidation events. They generate great diversity of highly-reactive lipid …

Nitric oxide (NO) is a free radical molecule involved in an array of functions under
physiological and adverse environmental conditions. As other free radical molecules, NO …

Arsenic (As) is a toxic metalloid that adversely affects plant growth, and poses severe risks to
human health. It induces disturbance to many physiological and metabolic pathways such …

Nitric oxide (NO) regulates plant growth, enhances nutrient uptake, and activates disease
and stress tolerance mechanisms in most plants, making NO a potential tool for use in …

Interorganellar cooperation maintained via exquisitely controlled retrograde-signaling
pathways is an evolutionary necessity for maintenance of cellular homeostasis. This …
