Aldehyde dehydrogenases engage in many cellular functions, however their dysfunction
resulting in accumulation of their substrates can be cytotoxic. ALDHs are responsible for the …

Aldehydes are carbonyl compounds found ubiquitously in the environment, derived from
both natural and anthropogenic sources. As the aldehydes are reactive species, therefore …

Background Plants have evolved a panoply of specialized metabolites that increase their
environmental fitness. Two examples are caffeine, a purine psychotropic alkaloid, and …

As reactive oxygen species (ROS) play critical roles in plants to determine cell fate in various
physiological situations, there is keen interest in the biochemical processes of ROS signal …

The bacterial pathogen Pseudomonas syringae modulates plant hormone signaling to
promote infection and disease development. P. syringae uses several strategies to …

Biodiesel production using microalgae would play a pivotal role in satisfying future global
energy demands. Understanding of lipid metabolism in microalgae is important to isolate …

Glycine betaine (GB) is known to accumulate in plants exposed to cold, but the underlying
molecular mechanisms and associated regulatory network remain unclear. Here, we …

Host-pathogen interactions are highly complex, involving large dynamic changes in gene
expression during infection. These interactions are fundamental to understanding anti …

The aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH) superfamily is composed of nicotinamide adenine
dinucleotide (phosphate)(NAD (P)+)-dependent enzymes that catalyze the oxidation of …

Abiotic and biotic stresses induce the formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), which
subsequently causes the excessive accumulation of aldehydes in cells. Stress-derived …
