Root system architecture plays an important role in plant adaptation to drought stress. The
root system architecture (RSA) consists of several structural features, which includes number …

Systemic signaling pathways enable multicellular organisms to prepare all of their tissues
and cells to an upcoming challenge that may initially only be sensed by a few local cells …

The introduction of molecular oxygen into the atmosphere was accompanied by the
generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) as side products of many biochemical …

Seed germination is crucial stage in plant development and can be considered as a
determinant for plant productivity. Physiological and biochemical changes followed by …

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) control many different processes in plants. However, being
toxic molecules, they are also capable of injuring cells. How this conflict is resolved in plants …

Stomatal movements in response to environmental stimuli critically control the plant water
status. Although these movements are governed by osmotically driven changes in guard cell …

Brown algae (Phaeophyceae) are complex photosynthetic organisms with a very different
evolutionary history to green plants, to which they are only distantly related. These …

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) have been proposed to function as second messengers in
abscisic acid (ABA) signaling in guard cells. However, the question whether ROS production …

For decades, GABA in plants has been treated merely as a metabolite, mostly in the context
of the response to stress. Recent evidence from the exploitation of Arabidopsis functional …

Brown algae are the only group of heterokont protists exhibiting complex multicellularity.
Since their origin, brown algae have adapted to various marine habitats, evolving diverse …
