Background Around the world, the frequency and intensity of droughts is increasing as a
result of global climate change, with important consequences for the growth and survival of …

Mitochondria are key players in plant cell redox homeostasis and signalling. Earlier
concepts that regarded mitochondria as secondary to chloroplasts as the powerhouses of …

Since the publication of the third edition of the Handbook of Plant and Crop Stress,
continuous discoveries in the fields of plant and crop environmental stresses and their …

Water stress is the major environmental stresses that affect agricultural production
worldwide, especially in arid and semi-arid regions. This research investigated the effect of …

Exposure to adverse environmental conditions causes oxidative stress in many organisms,
leading either to disease and debilitation or to response and tolerance. Mitochondria are a …

The alternative oxidase (AOX) of plant mitochondria transfers electrons from the ubiquinone
pool to oxygen without energy conservation. AOX can use reductant in excess of cytochrome …

The Arabidopsis thaliana chloroplast protein ACCELERATED CELL DEATH2 (ACD2)
modulates the amount of programmed cell death (PCD) triggered by Pseudomonas syringae …

The plant mitochondrial proteome might contain as many as 2000–3000 different gene
products, each of which might undergo post-translational modification. Recent studies using …

The control of messenger RNA (mRNA) translation has been increasingly recognized as a
key regulatory step for gene control, but clear examples in eukaryotes are still scarce …

The role of plant mitochondrial outer membrane proteins in the process of preprotein import
was investigated, as some of the principal components characterized in yeast have been …
