Pigments (mainly carotenoids) are important nutraceuticals known for their potent anti-
oxidant activities and have been used extensively as high end health supplements …

Autophagy is an intracellular process that facilitates the bulk degradation of cytoplasmic
materials by the vacuole or lysosome in eukaryotes. This conserved process is achieved …

In 2008, we published the first set of guidelines for standardizing research in autophagy.
Since then, this topic has received increasing attention, and many scientists have entered …

Turnover of dysfunctional organelles is vital to maintain homeostasis in eukaryotic cells. As
photosynthetic organelles, plant chloroplasts can suffer sunlight-induced damage. However …

Environmental pollution and freshwater crisis are the main pushing forces for upgrading new
insights in wastewater treatment. Wastewater generated from different sources is an …

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) and autophagy have been historically associated with cell
death. However, more recent evidence indicates that both ROS and autophagy play …

Significance: Redox homeostasis consists of an intricate network of reactions in which
reactive molecular species, redox modifications, and redox proteins act in concert to allow …

Eukaryotic microalgae have been classified into several biological divisions and have
evolutionarily acquired diverse morphologies, metabolisms, and life cycles. They are …

Leaves are primary plant organs harbouring chloroplasts that enable the sensing of
changes in environmental conditions and contribute to maintaining cellular homeostasis …

Chloroplasts are the primary energy suppliers for plants, and much of the total leaf nitrogen
is distributed to these organelles. During growth and reproduction, chloroplasts in turn …
