In this year there is the 40th anniversary of the first publication of plant nitric oxide (NO)
emission by Lowell Klepper. In the decades since then numerous milestone discoveries …

Abiotic stress is one of the main threats affecting crop growth and production. An
understanding of the molecular mechanisms that underpin plant responses against …

Plants are exposed to diverse abiotic stresses like drought, heat, salinity, and high-metal
concentrations at different stages of their life cycle. As protection against stress, plants …

The occurrence of heavy metals in soils may be beneficial or toxic to the environment. The
biota may require some of these elements considered essentials (like Fe, Zn, Cu or Mo) in …

Abstract Glutathione (GSH; γ-glutamyl-cysteinyl-glycine) is a small intracellular thiol
molecule which is considered as a strong non-enzymatic antioxidant. Glutathione regulates …

Plants cannot survive without glutathione (γ‐glutamylcysteinylglycine) or γ‐glutamylcysteine‐
containing homologues. The reasons why this small molecule is indispensable are not fully …

Heavy metal (HM) toxicity is one of the major abiotic stresses leading to hazardous effects in
plants. A common consequence of HM toxicity is the excessive accumulation of reactive …

Peroxisomes can be broadly defined as subcellular organelles bounded by a single
membrane that contain as basic enzymatic constituents catalase and hydrogen peroxide …

Cadmium (Cd) toxicity has been widely studied in different plant species; however, the
mechanism involved in its toxicity as well as the cell response against the metal have not …

Low temperature is an environmental stress that affects crop production and quality and
regulates the expression of many genes, and the level of a number of proteins and …
