Cytokinins (CKs) are ubiquitous phytohormones that participate in development,
morphogenesis and many physiological processes throughout plant kingdom. In higher …

The biosynthesis of pigments is crucial for plant life. Betalains are hydrosoluble pigments
almost completely restricted to species of the core Caryophyllales and, within the fungal …

Salicylic acid is associated with the primary defense responses to biotic stress and formation
of systemic acquired resistance. However, molecular mechanisms of early cell reactions to …

Phospholipase D (PLD) catalyzes hydrolysis of phospholipids with production of
phosphatidic acid, which often acts as secondary messenger of transduction of intracellular …

Phosphoglycerolipids are essential structural constituents of membranes and some also
have important cell signalling roles. In this review, we focus on phosphoglycerolipids that …

In this paper we report the molecular profiling, lipidome and proteome, of the plant organelle
known as an oil body (OB). The OB is remarkable in that it is able to perform its biological …

Due to the increasing demand for biofuel production, it is an important goal to optimize the
seed productivity and quality of oilseed plants even in adverse conditions. Acting on …

Cells sense a variety of extracellular signals balancing their metabolism and physiology
according to changing growth conditions. Plasma membranes are the outermost …

Plant phospholipase D (PLD), which can hydrolyze membrane phospholipids to produce
phosphatidic acid (PA), a secondary signaling molecule, has been proposed to function in …

Plant cell metabolism reactions upon biotic stress conditions are initiated via cellular
signaling systems. At the same time, signaling pathways of phytohormonal mediators of …
