Nitrogen (N), as a macro-element, plays a vital role in plant growth and development. N
deficiency affects plant productivity by decreasing photosynthesis, leaf area and longevity of …

Agriculture is expanding into regions that are affected by salinity. This review considers the
energetic costs of salinity tolerance in crop plants and provides a framework for a …

Global food security depends on three main cereal crops (wheat, rice and maize) achieving
and maintaining high yields, as well as increasing their future yields. Fundamental to the …

Respiration in the light (RL) releases CO2 in photosynthesizing leaves and is a
phenomenon that occurs independently from photorespiration. Since RL lowers net carbon …

Heat shock proteins 70 (HSP70s) are steadily gaining more attention in the field of plant
biotic interactions. Though their regulation and activity in plants are much less well …

Assessing posttranslational modification (PTM) patterns within protein molecules and
reading their functional implications present grand challenges for plant biology. We combine …

The rate with which crop yields per hectare increase each year is plateauing at the same
time that human population growth and other factors increase food demand. Increasing yield …

Compositional diversity is a fundamental property in cell populations. Single‐cell analysis
promises new insight into this cellular heterogeneity on the genomic, transcriptomic …

Chloroplast translation is essential for cellular viability and plant development. Its positioning
at the intersection of organellar RNA and protein metabolism makes it a unique point for the …

Rapid protein degradation and replacement is an important response to photodamage and
a means of photoprotection by recovering proteostasis. Protein turnover and translation …
