Melatonin is a pleiotropic molecule with multiple functions in plants. Since the discovery of
melatonin in plants, numerous studies have provided insight into the biosynthesis …

Abstract Melatonin (N-acetyl-5-methoxytryptamine) is an indole molecule widely found in
animals and plants. It is well known that melatonin improves plant resistance to various …

Nitric oxide (NO) is a key signaling molecule in plant physiology. However, its production in
photosynthetic organisms remains partially unresolved. The best characterized NO …

In this year there is the 40th anniversary of the first publication of plant nitric oxide (NO)
emission by Lowell Klepper. In the decades since then numerous milestone discoveries …

The timing of flowering is determined by endogenous genetic components as well as
various environmental factors, such as day length, temperature, and stress. The genetic …

Water is crucial to plant growth and development. Environmental water deficiency triggers
an osmotic stress signalling cascade, which induces short-term cellular responses to reduce …

Evolutionary success in plants is largely dependent on the successful transition from
vegetative to reproductive growth. In the lifetime of a plant, flowering is not only an essential …

Nitrate assimilation is a key process for nitrogen (N) acquisition in green microalgae. Among
Chlorophyte algae, Chlamydomonas reinhardtii has resulted to be a good model system to …

Nitric oxide (NO) is a gaseous reactive oxygen species (ROS) that has evolved as a
signaling hormone in many physiological processes in animals. In plants it has been …

Plant hormones have been extensively studied for their roles in the regulation of various
aspects of plant development. However, in the last decade important new insights have …
