Climate change is an invisible, silent killer with calamitous effects on living organisms. As
the sessile organism, plants experience a diverse array of abiotic stresses during …

Aerenchyma–tissue containing enlarged gas spaces–occurs in many plants. It is formed
either as part of normal development, or in response to stress (eg hypoxia). Two …

Programmed cell death is a genetically regulated process of cell suicide that is central to the
development, homeostasis and integrity of multicellular organisms. Conversely, the …

In the past year, most of the advances in our understanding of nonhost resistance to plant
pathogens have been incremental. Highlights include the discovery of a general bacterial …

The plant life cycle involves an alternation of generations between sporophyte and
gametophyte. Currently, the genes and pathways involved in gametophytic development …

Mitochondria constitute a major source of reactive oxygen species and have been proposed
to integrate the cellular responses to stress. In animals, it was shown that mitochondria can …

The respiratory pathways of glycolysis, the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle, and mitochondrial
electron transport chain (miETC) are central features of carbon metabolism and …

To explore the role of plant mitochondria in the regulation of cellular redox homeostasis and
stress resistance, we exploited a Nicotiana sylvestris mitochondrial mutant. The cytoplasmic …

A novel insight into Arabidopsis mitochondrial function was revealed from a large
experimental proteome derived by liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry …

Arabidopsis thaliana MYB80 (formerly MYB103) is expressed in the tapetum and
microspores between anther developmental stages 6 and 10. MYB80 encodes a MYB …
