The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is the organelle where one third of the proteins of a cell are
synthetized. Several of these proteins participate in the signaling and response of cells …

Abstract Background Heat shock factors (Hsfs) and Heat shock proteins (Hsps) belong to an
essential group of molecular regulators involved in controlling cellular processes under …

The main forms of inorganic arsenic (As) in soil are arsenate [As (V)] and arsenite [As (III)].
Both forms inhibit plant growth. Here, we investigate the effects of As (III) toxicity on the …

Heat stress (HS) is a major abiotic stress that negatively impacts crop yields across the
globe. Plants respond to elevated temperatures by changing gene expression, mediated by …

Drastic fluctuation in temperature during crop growth challenges its yield to a greater extent,
thus diminishing the agricultural productivity globally. At the cellular level, protein …

In plants, the BAX inhibitor-1 (BI-1) gene plays a crucial part in controlling cell death under
stress conditions. This mechanism of Programmed Cell Death (PCD) is genetically regulated …

Intracellular movement is an important step for the initial spread of virus in plants during
infection. This process requires virus-encoded movement proteins (MPs) and their …

The B3 DNA-binding superfamily is a group of gene families that contain a B3 domain in
their proteins. Members of this superfamily are involved in responses to stresses including …

The coding and promoter region sequences from the BiP-like protein SBiP1 from
Symbiodinium microadriaticum CassKB8 were obtained by PCR, sequenced and compared …

The rough endoplasmic reticulum (r-ER) is of paramount importance for adaptive responses
to biotic stresses due to an increased demand for de novo synthesis of immunity-related …
