Aquaporins (AQPs) are ubiquitous membrane proteins whose identification, pioneered by
Peter Agre's team in the early nineties, provided a molecular basis for transmembrane water …

The phloem transports nutrients, defensive compounds, and informational signals
throughout vascular plants. Sampling the complex components of mobile phloem sap is …

Since ancient times the olive tree (Olea europaea), an evergreen drought-and moderately
salt-tolerant species, has been cultivated for its oil and fruit in the Mediterranean basin. Olive …

In addition to their role as a source of reduced carbon, sugars may directly or indirectly
control a wide range of activities in plant cells, through transcriptional and post-translational …

The intracellular accumulation of organic compatible solutes functioning as
osmoprotectants, such as polyols, is an important response mechanism of several plants to …

Although soil contains only traces of soluble carbohydrates, plant roots take up glucose and
sucrose efficiently when supplied in artificial media. Soluble carbohydrates and other small …

LEA (late embryogenesis abundant) proteins participate in plant stress tolerance responses,
but the mechanisms by which protection occurs are not fully understood. In the present work …

Grapevine is one of the most widely cultivated plant species worldwide. With the publication
of the grapevine genome sequence in 2007, a new horizon in grapevine research has …

The efficient exclusion of excess Na from the cytoplasm and vacuolar Na+ accumulation are
the main mechanisms for the adaptation of plants to salt stress. This is typically carried out …

Fluorescent glucose derivatives are valuable tools as glucose analogs in plant research to
explore metabolic pathways, study enzyme activity, and investigate cellular processes …
