The response of plants to the stress caused by herbivores involves several different defence
mechanisms. These responses begin at the plant cell plasma membrane, where insect …

In most plants, constitutes the major source of nitrogen, and its assimilation into amino acids
is mainly achieved in shoots. Furthermore, recent reports have revealed that reduction of …

We tested the common assumption that fleshy fruits become dependent on phloem water
supply because xylem inflow declines at the onset of ripening. Using two distinct grape …

In a given environment, plants are constantly exposed to multitudes of stimuli. These stimuli
are sensed and transduced to generate a diverse array of responses by several signal …

Plants are sessile organisms and have multiple tolerance mechanisms which allow them to
adapt to the environmental stresses to which they may be exposed. Key to a plant's …

Abiotic stress halts the physiological and developmental process of plant. During stress
condition, CBL‐CIPK complex is identified as a primary element of calcium sensor to …

Calcium ion (Ca2+) is a ubiquitous second messenger that transmits various internal and
external signals including stresses and, therefore, is important for plants' response process …

A physiological pre-harvest disorder known as flesh gelling has been verified in the
'Golden'papaya culture in the main papaya-producing regions of Brazil. While this disorder …

Ca 2+ is an indispensible messenger in cellular signaling for all eukaryotes. Plants respond
to modulation in Ca 2+ concentration, known as “Ca 2+ signatures,” which are induced in …
