Plant hormones play a vital role in promoting growth, development and metabolism of the
plant, as well as act as a protector against various environmental stresses. In particular …

Mitochondria produce ATP via respiratory oxidation of organic acids and transfer of
electrons to O2 via the mitochondrial electron transport chain. This process produces …

In this study, a novel chitosan nanoemulsion coating embedded with Valeriana officinalis
essential oil (Ne-VOEO) was synthesized in order to improve the postharvest quality of …

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are naturally produced by several redox reactions during
plant regular metabolism such as photosynthesis and respiration. Due to their chemical …

Heat stress severely affects plant growth and crop production. It is therefore urgent to
uncover the mechanisms underlying heat stress responses of plants and establish the …

Mitochondrial respiration is an energy producing process that involves the coordinated
action of several protein complexes embedded in the inner membrane to finally produce …

Ca2+ signaling is central to plant development and acclimation. While Ca2+-responsive
proteins have been investigated intensely in plants, only a few Ca2+-permeable channels …

The influence of mannose treatment on mitochondrial physiological parameters was
investigated to postpone broccoli senescence. The results showed that mannose treatment …

Plant mitochondria are indispensable for plant metabolism and are tightly integrated into
cellular homeostasis. This review provides an update on the latest research concerning the …

Mitochondria have critical functions in the acclimation to abiotic and biotic stresses. Adverse
environmental conditions lead to increased demands in energy supply and metabolic …
