The study of plant mitochondria started in earnest around 1950 with the first isolations of
mitochondria from animal and plant tissues. The first 35 years were spent establishing the …

Several recent studies have shown that citric acid/citrate (CA) can confer abiotic stress
tolerance to plants. Exogenous CA application leads to improved growth and yield in crop …

CO2 release in the light (RL) and its presumed source, oxidative pentose phosphate
pathways, were found to be insensitive to CO2 concentration. The oxidative pentose …

In the present study, the therapeutic effects of crude anthocyanins (ACN) from the fruits of
Lycium ruthenicum Murray and the main monomer of ACN, petunidin 3-O-[rhamnopyranosyl …

Increase in demand for our primary foodstuffs is outstrip** increase in yields, an
expanding gap that indicates large potential food shortages by mid-century. This comes at a …

Optimizing methane production from food waste (FW) efficiently is always a hot topic in the
field of anaerobic digestion (AD). In this study we aimed to improve the conversion of …

Unanticipated flooding challenges plant growth and fitness in natural and agricultural
ecosystems. Here we describe mechanisms of developmental plasticity and metabolic …

The pivotal role of phytohormones during fruit development and ripening is considered
established knowledge in plant biology. Perhaps less well-known is the growing body of …

Organic acids are synthesized in plants as a result of the incomplete oxidation of
photosynthetic products and represent the stored pools of fixed carbon accumulated due to …

Fleshy fruit acidity is an important component of fruit organoleptic quality and is mainly due
to the presence of malic and citric acids, the main organic acids found in most ripe fruits. The …
