Storage oil mobilization starts with the onset of seed germination. Oil bodies packed with
triacylglycerol (TAG) exist in close proximity with glyoxysomes, the single membrane–bound …

Piriformospora indica, a root-colonizing endophytic fungus of Sebacinales, promotes plant
growth and confers resistance against biotic and abiotic stress. The fungus strongly …

Peroxisomes can be broadly defined as subcellular organelles bounded by a single
membrane that contain as basic enzymatic constituents catalase and hydrogen peroxide …

Cadmium is a toxic metal that produces disturbances in plant antioxidant defences giving
rise to oxidative stress. The effect of this metal on H2O2 and O2·− production was studied in …

Low temperature is an environmental stress that affects crop production and quality and
regulates the expression of many genes, and the level of a number of proteins and …

Grapes are grown in semiarid environments, where drought and salinity are common
problems. Microarray transcript profiling, quantitative reverse transcription-PCR, and …

Flooding is a widespread phenomenon that drastically reduces the growth and survival of
terrestrial plants. The dramatic decrease of gas diffusion in water compared with in air is a …

Under environmental stresses, plant development is adaptively modulated. This modulation
is influenced by the steady‐state balance (homeostasis) between reactive oxygen species …

Growth and development in all organisms occur as a result of an overall balance between
synthesis and proteolysis. In plants, protein degradation is a crucial mechanism in some …

The effect of salinity on the antioxidative system of root mitochondria and peroxisomes of a
cultivated tomato Lycopersicon esculentum (Lem) and its wild salt‐tolerant related species …
