This review provides a comprehensive overview of the established and emerging roles that
organelles play in calcium signalling. The function of calcium as a secondary messenger in …

Roots are subjected to a range of abiotic stresses as they forage for water and nutrients.
Cytosolic free calcium is a common second messenger in the signaling of abiotic stress. In …

Programmed cell death (PCD) is a process intended for the maintenance of cellular
homeostasis by eliminating old, damaged, or unwanted cells. In plants, PCD takes place …

Programmed cell death (PCD) is a key element in normal plant growth and development
which may also be induced by various abiotic and biotic stress factors including salt stress …

Mitochondrial biogenesis and function in plants require the expression of over 1000 nuclear
genes encoding mitochondrial proteins (NGEMPs). The expression of these genes is …

Plant cells undergoing programmed cell death (PCD) at late stages typically show chromatin
condensation and endonucleolytic cleavage prior to obvious membrane or organelle …

Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is considered to mediate plant growth and development. However,
whether H2S regulates the adaptation of mangrove plant to intertidal flooding habitats is not …

Temperature stress is one of the crucial factors determining geographical distribution of
insect species. Most of them are active in moderate temperatures, however some are …

Regulated permeability changes have been detected in mitochondria across species. We
review here their key features, with the goal of assessing whether a “permeability transition” …

A plant's oxygen supply can vary from normal (normoxia) to total depletion (anoxia).
Tolerance to anoxia is relevant to wetland species, rice (Oryza sativa) cultivation, and …
