Salinity stress is one of the major threats to agricultural productivity across the globe.
Research in the past three decades, therefore, has focused on analyzing the effects of …

Control of proteolysis is important for plant growth, development, responses to stress, and
defence against insects and pathogens. Members of the serpin protein family are likely to …

Tapetal programmed cell death (PCD) is a prerequisite for pollen grain development in
angiosperms, and cysteine proteases are the most ubiquitous hydrolases involved in plant …

Stem solidness is an important agronomic trait of durum (Triticum turgidum L. var. durum)
and bread (Triticum aestivum L.) wheat that provides resistance to the wheat stem sawfly …

The unfolded protein response (UPR) is a highly conserved response that protects plants
from adverse environmental conditions. The UPR is elicited by endoplasmic reticulum (ER) …

Tapetal programmed cell death (PCD) is a complex biological process that plays an
important role in pollen formation and reproduction. Here, we identified the MYB2 …

Background Senescence is integral to the flowering plant life-cycle. Senescence-like
processes occur also in non-angiosperm land plants, algae and photosynthetic prokaryotes …

Salt stress-and salicylic acid (SA)-induced cell death can be activated by various signaling
pathways including ethylene (ET) signaling in intact tomato plants. In tomato suspension …

Main conclusion During re-establishment of desiccation tolerance (DT), early events
promote initial protection and growth arrest, while late events promote stress adaptation and …

Successful development and dehiscence of the anther and release of pollen are dependent
upon the programmed cell death (PCD) of the tapetum and other sporophytic tissues …
