The production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) is the unavoidable consequence of
aerobic life. ROS is a collective term that includes both oxygen radicals, like superoxide (O …

Nitrate assimilation is a key process for nitrogen (N) acquisition in green microalgae. Among
Chlorophyte algae, Chlamydomonas reinhardtii has resulted to be a good model system to …

Excessive heavy metals (HM s) in agricultural lands cause toxicities to plants, resulting in
declines in crop productivity. Recent advances in ethylene biology research have …

Background Peroxisomes are highly dynamic, metabolically active organelles that used to
be regarded as a sink for H2O2 generated in different organelles. However, peroxisomes …

Abstract Background and Aims Pepper (Capsicum annuum, Solanaceae) fruits are
consumed worldwide and are of great economic importance. In most species ripening is …

Nitric oxide (NO) is a ubiquitous signaling molecule involved in a wide range of
physiological and pathophysiological processes in animals and plants. Although its …

Nitric oxide (NO) is a signalling molecule involved in several physiological processes, in
both prokaryotes and eukaryotes, and nitrite is being recognised as an NO source …

Nitric oxide (NO) is a signaling molecule with diverse biological functions in plants. NO plays
a crucial role in growth and development, from germination to senescence, and is also …

Hemoglobins are ubiquitous proteins that sense, store and transport oxygen, but the
physiological processes in which they are implicated is currently expanding. Recent …

Recent evidence suggests that nitric oxide (NO) signaling plays an important role in plant–
pathogen interactions and that aconitase is a major target of NO. In the present study on the …
