Alternative oxidase (AOX) is a non-energy conserving terminal oxidase in the plant
mitochondrial electron transport chain. While respiratory carbon oxidation pathways …

Flooding is an environmental stress for many natural and man-made ecosystems worldwide.
Genetic diversity in the plant response to flooding includes alterations in architecture …

Flooding regimes of different depths and durations impose selection pressures for various
traits in terrestrial wetland plants. Suites of adaptive traits for different flooding stresses, such …

Plant stress studies are more and more based on gene expression. The analysis of gene
expression requires sensitive, precise, and reproducible measurements for specific mRNA …

The response of Arabidopsis thaliana to low-oxygen stress (hypoxia), such as during shoot
submergence or root waterlogging, includes increasing the levels of∼ 50 hypoxia …

The CBF cold response pathway has a prominent role in cold acclimation. The pathway
includes action of three transcription factors, CBF1, 2 and 3 (also known as DREB1b, c and …

Nitrite is one of the players in the broad nitrogen biogeochemical cycle. This nitrogen oxo-
anion is involved in key pathways crucial to life on Earth and to the planetary “recycling” of …

Tolerance of hypoxia is essential for most plants, but the underlying mechanisms are largely
unknown. Here we show that adaptation to submergence induced hypoxia in Arabidopsis …

Flooding is a widespread phenomenon that drastically reduces the growth and survival of
terrestrial plants. The dramatic decrease of gas diffusion in water compared with in air is a …

In higher plants, class III peroxidases exist as large multigene families (eg 73 genes in
Arabidopsis thaliana). The diversity of processes catalysed by peroxidases as well as the …
