Metabolomics now plays a significant role in fundamental plant biology and applied
biotechnology. Plants collectively produce a huge array of chemicals, far more than are …

The nitrate and peptide transporter family (NPF) is one of the largest transporter families in
the plant kingdom. The name of the family reflects the substrates (nitrate and peptides) …

In plants, transport processes are important for the reallocation of defence compounds to
protect tissues of high value, as demonstrated in the plant model Arabidopsis, in which the …

Abstract While R2R3 MYB transcription factors are a large gene family of transcription
factors within plants, comprehensive functional data in planta are still scarce. A model for …

Plants possess many metabolic genes for the production of a wide variety of phytochemicals
in a tissue-specific manner. However, the metabolic systems behind the diversity and tissue …

Plants have evolved intricate strategies to withstand attacks by herbivores and pathogens.
Although it is known that plants change their primary and secondary metabolism in leaves to …

The nutritional value of Brassica seed meals is reduced by the presence of glucosinolates,
which are toxic compounds involved in plant defense. Mutation of the genes encoding two g …

Camelina sativa is an oil crop with low input costs and resistance to abiotic and biotic
stresses. The presence of glucosinolates, plant metabolites with adverse health effects …

Due to the presence of plastids, eukaryotic photosynthetic cells represent the most highly
compartmentalized eukaryotic cells. This high degree of compartmentation requires the …

Plants synthesize a plethora of defense compounds crucial for their survival in a challenging
and changing environment. Transport processes are important for shaping the distribution …
