Abscisic acid (ABA) is a key hormone that promotes dormancy during seed development on
the mother plant and after seed dispersal participates in the control of dormancy release and …

C and N are the most important essential elements constituting organic compounds in
plants. The shoots and roots depend on each other by exchanging C and N through the …

The eukaryotic cell is compartmentalized into subcellular niches, including membrane-
bound and membrane-less organelles. Proteins localize to these niches to fulfil their …

Plastids communicate their developmental and physiological status to the nucleus via
retrograde signaling, allowing nuclear gene expression to be adjusted appropriately …

Chloroplasts are the site of numerous biochemical reactions including photosynthesis, but
they also produce reactive oxygen species (ROS) that negatively affect chloroplast integrity …

Over the past decade, systems biology and plant-omics have increasingly become the main
stream in plant biology research. New developments in mass spectrometry and …

In agricultural cropping systems, relatively large amounts of nitrogen (N) are applied for
plant growth and development, and to achieve high yields. However, with increasing N …

Spatial proteomics is an interdisciplinary field that investigates the localization and dynamics
of proteins, and it has gained extensive attention in recent years, especially the subcellular …

Plants require sunlight, water, CO 2, and essential nutrients to drive photosynthesis and
fulfill their life cycle. The photosynthetic apparatus resides in chloroplasts and fundamentally …

Photosynthesis is the energetic basis for most life on Earth, and in plants it operates inside
double membrane–bound organelles called chloroplasts. The photosynthetic apparatus …
