The diversity of secondary compounds in the plant kingdom is huge. About 200,000
compounds are known, which are grouped into amines, non-protein amino acids, peptides …

Cadmium (Cd) pollution renders many soils across the world unsuited or unsafe for food-or
feed-orientated agriculture. The main mechanism of Cd phytotoxicity is the induction of …

We compared the amount of lignin as determined by the three most traditional methods for
lignin measurement in three tissues (sugarcane bagasse, soybean roots and soybean seed …

Plants endure challenging environments in which they are constantly threatened by diverse
pathogens. The soil‐borne fungus Verticillium dahliae is a devastating pathogen affecting …

Phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL) activity, 11 phenolic acids and lignin accumulation in
Matricaria chamomilla roots exposed to low (3 μM) and high (60 and 120 μM) levels of …

Phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL) activity, accumulation of 11 phenolic acids and 3
coumarin-related compounds (herniarin and its glucosidic precursors (Z)-and (E)-2-β-d …

Horseradish and soybean peroxidases (HRP and SBP, respectively) are useful
biotechnological tools. HRP is often termed the classical plant heme peroxidase and …

The allelopathic effect of caffeic acid was tested on root growth, phenylalanine ammonia-
lyase (PAL) and peroxidase (POD) activities, hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) accumulation …

Cinnamic acid is a known allelochemical that affects seed germination and plant root growth
and therefore influences several metabolic processes. In the present work, we evaluated its …

Mature pollen from most plant species is metabolically quiescent; however, after pollination,
it germinates quickly and gives rise to a pollen tube to transport sperms into the embryo sac …
