Sulfur management is an important issue in crop plant nutrition. Sulfur has a role in fundamental processes such as electron transport, structure and regulation. It is also associated with photosynthetic oxygen production, ...

There is a very effective cross-talk between signals triggered by reactive oxygen species and the hormonal response in plants, inducing the expression of genes or activating proteins/enzymes likely to be involved in stress ...

Plants are sessile photo-autotrophic organisms continuously exposed to a variety of environmental stresses. Monitoring the sugar level and energy status is essential, since this knowledge allows the integration of external ...

The ever-changing environmental conditions constantly challenge plants with biotic and abiotic cues causing severe crop losses worldwide. These external stresses stimulate plant responses and adaptations. Priming, which ...

Background: Uncoupling protein one (UCP1) is a mitochondrial inner membrane protein capable of uncoupling the electrochemical gradient from adenosine-5'-triphosphate (ATP) synthesis, dissipating energy as heat. UCP1 plays ...

Phytochromes, which absorb red (R)/far red (FR) light, are the most characterized photoreceptors in plants and have been shown to mediate a wide range of molecular and biochemical responses. These include responses to ...
