Plants strive for phosphorus (P), which is an essential mineral for their life. Since P
availability is limiting in most of the world's soils, plants have evolved with a complex …

Globally, plant-derivatives especially cereals and legumes are the major staple food sources
for animals. The seeds of these crops comprise of phytic acid, the major repository form of …

Plant purple acid phosphatases (PAP s) belong to a relatively large gene family whose
individual functions are poorly understood. Three PAP isozymes that are up‐regulated in the …

In the present study, genes encoding for six major classes of enzymatic antioxidants, namely
superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), glutathione reductase (GR), Peroxidase (Prx) …

Plant cell walls are typically composed of polysaccharide polymers and cell wall proteins
(CWPs). CWPs account for approximately 10% of the plant cell wall structure and perform a …

Seed propagation is the most commonly used method for producing Allium mongolicum
seeds. However, as storage time increases, the seeds may suffer from ageing to varying …

Key message SlPAP1 is a phosphate starvation responsive purple acid phosphatase during
tomato seed germination. Future research on its family members in tomato might improve …

Background Plants are not able to take up organically bound phosphorus (P) before it is
hydrolyzed by extracellular phosphatases while intracellular phosphatases play a role in P …

Purple acid phosphatases (PAP)-encoding genes form a complex network that play a critical
role in plant phosphate (Pi) homeostasis. Mostly, the functions of PAPs were investigated …

Phosphorus is a critical nutrient for plant growth, influencing crop yield and development.
However, the excessive reliance on phosphate (Pi) fertilizers to address Pi deficiency is …
