Cold stress restricts plant growth, development, and distribution. Understanding how plants
transduce and respond to cold signals has long been a topic of interest. Traditional genetic …

During the course of their ontogenesis plants are continuously exposed to a large variety of
abiotic stress factors which can damage tissues and jeopardize the survival of the organism …

Maintenance of genome integrity is a key issue for all living organisms. Cells are constantly
exposed to DNA damage due to replication or transcription, cellular metabolic activities …

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are known as toxic metabolic products in plants and other
aerobic organisms. An elaborate and highly redundant plant ROS network, composed of …

Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) are widely used as antibacterial and antifungal agents in
agriculture. Nevertheless, these nanoparticles with newborn properties pose a potential risk …

Programmed cell death (PCD) is a physiological process occurring during development and
in pathological conditions of animals and plants. The cell death program can be subdivided …

Being sessile organisms, plants are ubiquitously exposed to stresses that can affect the DNA
replication process or cause DNA damage. To cope with these problems, plants utilize DNA …

To gain some insight into the mechanisms by which plant cells die as a result of abiotic
stress, we exposed tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) Bright-Yellow 2 cells to heat shock and …

Programmed cell death (PCD), the highly regulated dismantling of cells, is essential for plant
growth and survival. PCD plays key roles in embryo development, formation and maturation …

Temperature has a profound influence on plant and animal development, but its effects on
stem cell behavior and activity remain poorly understood. Here, we characterize the …
