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 …

In the near future, grasses must provide most of the biomass for the production of renewable
fuels. However, grass cell walls are characterized by a large quantity of hydroxycinnamic …

The structure and fine structure of leaf and culm cell walls of sugarcane plants were
analyzed using a combination of microscopic, chemical, biochemical, and immunological …

Ferulic acid is a phenolic acid widely distributed in the plant kingdom. It presents a wide
range of potential therapeutic effects useful in the treatments of cancer, diabetes, lung and …

Pattern-recognition receptors (PRRs) mediate basal resistance to most phytopathogens.
However, plant responses can be cell type specific, and the mechanisms governing xylem …

Copper oxide nanoparticles (CuONPs) are widely used in several products and their release
into the environment can cause toxicity to major food crops. In this study, toxic responses as …

The effects of cadmium (Cd), a well-known environmental pollutant with high toxicity to
plants, were tested on root growth, cell viability, phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL) soluble …

Salt stress was evaluated on root growth, enzyme activities (phenylalanine ammonia‐lyase
or PAL and soluble plus cell wall‐bound peroxidase or POD), hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) …

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 …
