The important role of plant peroxisomes in a variety of metabolic reactions such as
photorespiration, fatty acid β-oxidation, the glyoxylate cycle and generation–degradation of …

▪ Abstract Fifteen years ago, we had a model of peroxisome biogenesis that involved growth
and division of preexisting peroxisomes. Today, thanks to genetically tractable model …

The stress 70 molecular chaperones of plants are localized and function in all of the major
subcellular compartments of the cell. Collectively, all of the various forms are encoded by a …

Abstract Nitro-fatty acids (NO2-FAs) are the product of the reaction between reactive
nitrogen species derived of nitric oxide (NO) and unsaturated fatty acids. In animal systems …

The Hsp70 molecular chaperones of plants are encoded by a multi‐gene family whose
members are developmentally regulated and differentially expressed in response to …

High temperature (HT) is considered a major abiotic stress that negatively affects both
vegetative and reproductive growth. Whereas the metabolism of reactive oxygen species …

Peroxisomes are highly adaptable organelles that carry out oxidative reactions. Distinct
cellular machineries act together to coordinate peroxisome formation, growth, division …

The production of superoxide radicals (O2-•) and the activities of ferricyanide reductase and
cytochrome c reductase were investigated in peroxisomal membranes from pea (Pisum …

Whole-genome sequencing projects have drastically changed the landscape of biological
research. The lexicon of contemporary biology contains a plethora of new terms, including …

Cellular membranes act as semipermeable barriers to ions and macromolecules.
Specialized mechanisms of transport of proteins across membranes have been developed …
