Although legumes are of primary economic importance for human and livestock consumption, the information regarding signalling networks during plant stress response in this group is very scarce. Lotus japonicus is a major ...

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 ...

The specific role of the chloride anion (Cl−) as a signalling effector or second messenger has been increasingly recognized in recent years. It could represent a key factor in the regulation of cellular homeostasis. Changes ...

Plants are sessile organisms that must perceive and respond to various environmental constraints throughout their life cycle. Among these constraints, drought stress has become the main limiting factor to crop production ...

In a previous publication, we performed a phenotypic characterization of Arabidopsis auxin receptor mutants grown under oxidative and salt stresses. In particular, the double mutant for TIR1 and AFB2 receptors, tir1 afb2 ...

As sessile organisms plants have to cope with changing environmental conditions. Drought and salinity, which causes water-deficit in plant cells, are common adverse factors that limit plant growth and productivity. ...

Serine/threonine protein phosphatases are ubiquitous enzymes in all eukaryotes but many of their physiological roles in plants remain unknown. The available results have demonstrated critical functions for these enzymes ...
