The glucosinolates (GSLs) is a well-defined group of plant metabolites characterized by
having an S-β-d-glucopyrano unit anomerically connected to an O-sulfated (Z) …

The study of plant mitochondria started in earnest around 1950 with the first isolations of
mitochondria from animal and plant tissues. The first 35 years were spent establishing the …

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

Identifying key players and their interactions is fundamental for understanding biochemical
mechanisms at the molecular level. The ever-increasing number of alternative ways to …

Summary Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is ubiquitous in cells and at the centre of
developmental programmes and environmental responses. Its chemistry in cells makes …

Phenylpropanoids fulfill numerous physiological functions, essential for plant growth and
development, as well as plant–environment interactions. Over the last few decades, many …

Mitochondria are energy factories of cells and are important for intracellular interactions with
other organelles. Emerging evidence indicates that mitochondria play essential roles in the …

Plant roots are built of concentric cell layers that are thought to respond to microbial
infections by employing specific, genetically defined programs. Yet, the functional impact of …

Membrane trafficking pathways play a prominent role in plant immunity. The endomembrane
transport system coordinates membrane-bound cellular organelles to ensure that …
