Although the eukaryotic TOR (target of rapamycin) kinase signalling pathway has emerged
as a key player for integrating nutrient-, energy-and stress-related cues with growth and …

Phosphorylated phosphatidylinositol lipids are crucial for most eukaryotes and have diverse
cellular functions. The low-abundance signalling lipid phosphatidylinositol 3, 5 …

The plant vacuole is a central organelle that is involved in various biological processes
throughout the plant life cycle. Elucidating the mechanism of vacuole biogenesis and …

Root hairs elongate by tip growth and simultaneously harden the shank by constructing the
inner secondary cell wall layer. While much is known about the process of tip growth, almost …

The oriented deposition of cellulose microfibrils in the plant cell wall plays a crucial role in
various plant functions such as cell growth, organ formation and defense responses …

Diacylglycerol kinases (DGK s) play a major role in the production of phosphatidic acid (Ptd
OH) and were implicated in endomembrane trafficking and signalling cascades. In plants …

Cold is an abiotic stress seriously threatening crop productivity by decreasing biomass
production. The pollen tube is a target of cold stress, but also a useful model to address …

PIN-FORMEDs (PINs) are auxin efflux carriers that asymmetrically target the plasma
membrane (PM) and are critical for forming local auxin gradients and auxin responses …

Embryo development is essential for seed yield and post-germination growth. Glucose-6-
phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD), the rate-limiting enzyme in oxidative pentose phosphate …

The aim of the current study was to examine the effect of spermidine treatment concomitant
with cold stress on the elongation of Camellia sinensis pollen tube. When exogenous …
