Protein phosphatase PP2A is an enzyme complex consisting of C (catalytic), A (scaffold) and
B (regulatory) subunits. B subunits are a large family of proteins that regulate activity …

The interaction of mitochondria with cellular components evolved differently in plants and
mammals; in plants, the organelle contains proteins such as ALTERNATIVE OXIDASES …

In plant cells, mitochondria are ideally positioned to sense and balance changes in energy
metabolism in response to changing environmental conditions. Retrograde signaling from …

Ala is a central metabolite in leaf cells whose abundance is related to pyruvate (Pyr)
metabolism and nocturnal respiration rates. Exposure of Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) …

CmNACP1 mRNA has been shown to move long distance through the phloem in Cucurbita
maxima (pumpkin) and through a graft junction. Whereas the phloem transport of several …

Global warming is a serious threat to food security and severely affects plant growth,
developmental processes, and, eventually, crop productivity. Respiratory metabolism plays …

Flooding causes severe crop losses in many parts of the world. Genetic variation in flooding
tolerance exists in many species; however, there are few examples for the identification of …

Most retrograde signalling research in plants was performed using Arabidopsis, so an
evolutionary perspective on mitochondrial retrograde regulation (MRR) is largely missing …

Global warming is causing quick changes in mean annual temperature and more severe
drought periods. These are major contributors of forest dieback, which is becoming more …

Using a mutant screen, we identified trehalose 6-phosphate phosphatase 1 (TSPP1) as a
functional enzyme dephosphorylating trehalose 6-phosphate (Tre6P) to trehalose in …
