Like all eukaryotic organisms, plants possess an innate program for controlled cellular
demise termed programmed cell death (PCD). Despite the functional conservation of PCD …

Main conclusion Shoot tip necrosis is a physiological condition that negatively impacts the
growth and development of in vitro plant shoot cultures across a wide range of species …

Programmed cell death (PCD) is used by plants for development and survival to biotic and
abiotic stresses. The role of caspases in PCD is well established in animal cells. Over the …

Climate change negatively impacts the global hydrological resources leading to detrimental
flood events. Submergence impedes the cellular membrane integrity, consequently affecting …

Salinity can cause several challenges for plants, including water stress, mal-nutrition and
accumulation of excess ions to potentially toxic levels. While salt exclusion …

The Fusarium genus of fungi is responsible for commercially devastating crop diseases and
the contamination of cereals with harmful mycotoxins. Fusarium mycotoxins aid infection …

The hypersensitive response (HR) is a defense action against pathogen ingression.
Typically, HR is predictable with the appearance of the dead, brown cells along with visible …

Dioxane is a highly mobile and persistent groundwater pollutant that often forms large dilute
plumes. Because of this, utilizing aggressive pump-and-treat and ex-situ technologies such …

Cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS) where no functional pollen is produced has important roles
in wheat breeding. The anther is a unique organ for male gametogenesis and its abnormal …

Main conclusion Antioxidants and reactive oxygen species are integral for programmed cell
death signaling during perforation formation in the lace plant (Aponogeton …
