Proline is a multifunctional amino acid that is accumulated in high concentrations in plants
under various stress conditions. Proline accumulation is intimately connected to many …

Mitochondria produce ATP via respiratory oxidation of organic acids and transfer of
electrons to O2 via the mitochondrial electron transport chain. This process produces …

Recent years have witnessed enormous progress in understanding redox signaling related
to reactive oxygen species (ROS) in plants. The consensus view is that such signaling is …

Nonenzymatic lipid oxidation is usually viewed as deleterious. But if this is the case, then
why does it occur so frequently in cells? Here we review the mechanisms of membrane …

Oxidative stress resulting from increased availability of reactive oxygen species (ROS) is a
key component of many responses of plants to challenging environmental conditions. The …

Omics approaches have proven their value to provide a broad monitoring of biological
systems. However, as no single analytical technique is sufficient to reveal the full …

Programmed cell death (PCD) is crucial in plant organogenesis and survival. In this review
the involvement of mitochondria and chloroplasts in PCD execution is critically assessed …

Significance: In photosynthetic organisms, excited chlorophylls (Chl) can stimulate the
formation of singlet oxygen (1O2), a highly toxic molecule that acts in addition to its …

Programmed cell death (PCD) is a ubiquitous genetically regulated process consisting in an
activation of finely controlled signaling pathways that lead to cellular suicide. Although some …

In land plants, chlorophyll is broken down to colorless linear tetrapyrroles in a highly
conserved multi-step pathway. The pathway is termed the 'PAO pathway', because the …
