As one of the iconic pathways in plant metabolism, the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle is
commonly thought to not only be responsible for the oxidization of respiratory substrate to …

Plant pathogens and parasites use multiple virulence factors to successfully infect plants.
While most plant–pathogen interaction studies focus on pathogen effectors and their …

Pollen tube is the fastest-growing plant cell. Its polarized growth process consumes a
tremendous amount of energy, which involves coordinated energy fluxes between plastids …

Legumes perform symbiotic nitrogen fixation through rhizobial bacteroids housed in
specialised root nodules. The biochemical process is energy‐intensive and consumes a …

Coriandrum sativum. L (coriander) is an aromatic herb containing valuable bioactive
compounds. The current study aimed to understand the role of light quality influence on the …

Drought stress affects photosynthesis, leading to significant decrease in crop productivity. In
the current study, the importance of the cytochrome oxidase (COX) and alternative oxidase …

Storage lipids (mostly triacylglycerols, TAGs) serve as an important energy and carbon
reserve in plants, and hyperaccumulation of TAG in vegetative tissues can have negative …

The increasing carbon dioxide (CO 2) levels in the air pose a direct threat to all living
organisms and the environment. Leveraging the ability of plants to absorb CO 2 is one of the …

Carotenoid cleavage oxygenases (CCOs) cleave carotenoid molecules to produce bioactive
products that influence the synthesis of hormones such as abscisic acid (ABA) and …

Energy metabolism in plant cells requires a balance between the activities of chloroplasts
and mitochondria, as they are the producers and consumers of carbohydrates and reducing …
