Salinity is a major abiotic stress limiting growth and productivity of plants in many areas of
the world due to increasing use of poor quality of water for irrigation and soil salinization …

The plant glutathione peroxidase (GPX) family consists of multiple isoenzymes with distinct
subcellular locations which exhibit different tissue-specific expression patterns and …

Plant pathogen attacks are perceived through pathogen-issued compounds or plant-derived
molecules that elicit defense reactions. Despite the large variety of elicitors, general …

Members of the Arabidopsis thaliana PHOSPHATE TRANSPORTER1 (PHT1) family are key
players in acquisition of Pi from the rhizosphere, and their regulation is indispensable for the …

Perception of general elicitors by plant cells initiates signal transduction cascades that are
regulated by protein phosphorylation. The earliest signaling events occur within minutes and …

Glutathione peroxidases (GPXs) are known to play an essential role in guarding cells
against oxidative stress by catalyzing the reduction of hydrogen peroxide and organic …

Stomata can be regarded as hydraulically driven valves in the leaf surface, which open to
allow CO2 uptake and close to prevent excessive loss of water. Movement of these …

The plant hormone auxin (indole-3-acetic acid, IAA) has a crucial role in plant development.
Its spatiotemporal distribution is controlled by a combination of biosynthetic, metabolic and …

Phenotypic characterization of the Arabidopsis thaliana transparent testa12 (tt12) mutant
encoding a membrane protein of the multidrug and toxic efflux transporter family, suggested …

Plastoglobules (PGs) are oval or tubular lipid-rich structures present in all plastid types, but
their specific functions are unclear. PGs contain quinones, α-tocopherol, and lipids and, in …
