Background The phytohormone auxin is critical for plant growth and orchestrates many
developmental processes.• Scope This review considers the complex array of mechanisms …

Peroxisomes are eukaryotic organelles that are highly dynamic both in morphology and
metabolism. Plant peroxisomes are involved in numerous processes, including primary and …

Acyl lipids in Arabidopsis and all other plants have a myriad of diverse functions. These
include providing the core diffusion barrier of the membranes that separates cells and …

Storage oil mobilization starts with the onset of seed germination. Oil bodies packed with
triacylglycerol (TAG) exist in close proximity with glyoxysomes, the single membrane–bound …

Appropriate responses of seeds and fruits to environmental factors are key traits that control
the establishment of a species in a particular ecosystem. Adaptation of germination to abiotic …

Fatty acid degradation in most organisms occurs primarily via the β-oxidation cycle. In
mammals, β-oxidation occurs in both mitochondria and peroxisomes, whereas plants and …

A comparative transcriptome analysis for successive stages of Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis
thaliana) developmental leaf senescence (NS), darkening-induced senescence of individual …

The plant hormones jasmonic acid and methyl jasmonate, along with their intermediate
compounds, produced in the octadecanoid pathway, are important signaling molecules that …

Arabidopsis thaliana COMATOSE (CTS) encodes an ABC transporter involved in
peroxisomal import of substrates for β-oxidation. Various cts alleles and mutants disrupted in …

Abstract SUCROSE NON-FERMENTING1 (SNF1)-RELATED KINASE 1 (SnRK1) is an
evolutionarily conserved protein kinase with key roles in plant stress responses. SnRK1 is …
