Cell membranes are the initial site of stimulus perception from environment and
phospholipids are the basic and important components of cell membranes. Phospholipases …

Abstract Phospholipases D (PLD) and C (PLC) hydrolyze the phosphodiesteric linkages of
the head group of membrane phospholipids. PLDs and PLCs in plants occur in different …

Plants are a source of commercially important secondary metabolites. Elicitation of plant
cells in culture represents a useful biotechnological tool to improve the production of these …

Plant protoplasts (“naked” cells) provide a unique single cell system to underpin several
aspects of modern biotechnology. Major advances in genomics, proteomics, and …

The capacity to respond to day length, photoperiodism, is crucial for flowering plants to
adapt to seasonal change. The photoperiodic control of flowering in plants is mediated by a …

Ubiquitination is involved in diverse cellular processes in higher plants. In this report, we
describe Arabidopsis thaliana PUB22 and PUB23, two homologous U-box–containing E3 …

Abstract Phosphatidyl inositol 4, 5-bisphosphate (PI 4, 5-P2) accumulates in a Rac/Rop-
dependent manner in the pollen tube tip plasma membrane, where it may control actin …

Mungbean [Vigna radiata (L) Wilczek] is one of the important short duration pulse crops. It is
grown over a wide range of soils throughout the world. Historically, India has been the …

Although pollen tube growth is essential for plant fertilization and reproductive success, the
regulators of the actin-related growth machinery and the cytosolic Ca2+ gradient thought to …

Mung bean (Vigna radiata L.) is commonly grown in Asia as an important nutritional dry
grain legume, as it can survive better in arid conditions than other crops. Abiotic stresses …
