Glutathione is an essential metabolite for plant life best known for its role in the control of
reactive oxygen species (ROS). Glutathione is also involved in the detoxification of …

The increase in environmental temperature due to global warming is a critical threat to plant
growth and productivity. Heat stress can cause impairment in several biochemical and …

Autophagy is an intracellular process that facilitates the bulk degradation of cytoplasmic
materials by the vacuole or lysosome in eukaryotes. This conserved process is achieved …

Most plants in the Brassicaceae evolve self-incompatibility (SI) to avoid inbreeding and
generate hybrid vigor. Self-pollen is recognized by the S-haplotype-specific interaction of the …

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reactive nitrogen species (RNS) are present at low and
controlled levels under normal conditions. These reactive molecules can increase to high …

Autophagy is a major cellular degradation pathway in eukaryotes. Recent studies have
revealed the importance of autophagy in many aspects of plant life, including seedling …

Reactive oxygen species (ROS), and in particular H2O2, serve as essential second
messengers at low concentrations. However, excessive ROS accumulation leads to severe …

Autophagy, an innate cellular destructive mechanism, plays crucial roles in plant
development and responses to stress. Autophagy is known to be stimulated or suppressed …

Highlights•Autophagy is essential for nutrient recycling and remobilization in plants.•Both
bulk and specific autophagy participate to nutrient recycling.•Autophagy defects result in …

Mitochondrial alternative oxidase (AOX) is involved in a large number of plant physiological
processes, such as growth, development and stress responses; however, the exact role of …
