In angiosperms, the mature seed consists of embryo, endosperm, and a maternal plant-
derived seed coat (SC). The SC plays a role in seed filling, protects the embryo, mediates …

Maize (Zea mays) is the most important coarse cereal utilized as a major energy source for
animal feed and humans. However, maize grains are deficient in methionine, an essential …

Background Understanding how intensification of abiotic stress due to global climate
change affects crop yields is important for continued agricultural productivity. Coupling …

Fluxes through metabolic pathways reflect the integration of genetic and metabolic
regulations. While it is attractive to measure all the mRNAs (transcriptome), all the proteins …

Each step of the seed-to-seed cycle of plant development including seed germination is
characterized by a specific set of proteins. The continual renewal and/or replacement of …

The sulfur-containing amino acid methionine belongs to the group of essential amino acids,
meaning that humans and animals must consume it in their diets. However, plant seeds …

Seed dormancy and timing of its release is an important developmental transition
determining the survival of individuals, populations, and species in variable environments …

The genetic regulation underlying the effect of arsenic (As (III)) on the model symbiosis M
edicago–E nsifer was investigated using a combination of physiological (split‐roots) …

Background The industrially important yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae is able to grow both
in the presence and absence of oxygen. However, the regulation of its metabolism in …

In Brassica napus, seed yield and quality are related to sulfate availability, but the seed
metabolic changes in response to sulfate limitation remain largely unknown. To address this …
