Source-to-sink transport of sugar is one of the major determinants of plant growth and relies
on the efficient and controlled distribution of sucrose (and some other sugars such as …

Four tocopherols are available in nature and are absorbed with the diet, but only one RRR-α-
tocopherol satisfies the criteria of being a vitamin. The biological activity of the different …

In plants, communication and molecular exchanges between different cells and tissues are
dependent on the apoplastic and symplastic pathways. Symplastic molecular exchanges …

L-Tyrosine (Tyr) is an aromatic amino acid (AAA) required for protein synthesis in all
organisms, but synthesized de novo only in plants and microorganisms. In plants, Tyr also …

Carotenoids and tocopherols are the two most abundant groups of lipid-soluble antioxidants
in chloroplasts. In addition to their many functional roles in photosynthetic organisms, these …

Environmental stresses trigger a wide variety of plant responses, ranging from altered gene
expression to changes in cellular metabolism and growth. A plethora of plant reactions exist …

Tocopherols and tocotrienols, collectively known as tocochromanols, are lipid-soluble
molecules that belong to the group of vitamin E compounds and are essential in the human …

Isoprenoids represent the oldest class of known low molecular-mass natural products
synthesized by plants. Their biogenesis in plastids, mitochondria and the endoplasmic …

Tocopherols, together with tocotrienols and plastochromanols belong to a group of lipophilic
