In plants, apoptotic-like programmed cell death (PCD) can be distinguished from other forms
of plant cell death by protoplast condensation that results in a morphologically distinct cell …

Abstract Tap42/α4, a regulatory subunit of protein phosphatase 2A, is a downstream effector
of the target of rapamycin (TOR) protein kinase, which regulates cell growth in coordination …

Oxidative stress is an integral component of various stress conditions in plants, and this fact
largely determines the substantial overlap in physiological and molecular responses to …

Sugars are the main carbon and energy source in cells, but they can also act as signaling
molecules that affect the whole plant life cycle. Certain tissues can produce sugars and …

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

Virus-induced gene silencing (VIGS) is a technology that exploits an antiviral defense
mechanism in plants as a tool for plant reverse genetics. VIGS circumvents the need for …

Degeneration of apical spikelets and reduced panicle fertility are common reasons for low
seed‐setting rate in rice (Oryza sativa). However, little is known about the underlying …

Maintenance of homeostasis is pivotal to all forms of life. In the case of plants, homeostasis
is constantly threatened by the inability to escape environmental fluctuations, and therefore …

All plants maintain a non‐energy‐conserving pathway of mitochondrial electron transport
referred to as alternative oxidase (AOX) respiration. Here, we briefly review some of the most …

Over the past decades, considerable advances have been made in understanding the
crucial role and the regulation of sucrose metabolism in plants. Among the various sucrose …
