Plant architecture fundamentally differs from that of other multicellular organisms in that
individual cells serve as osmotic bricks, defined by the equilibrium between the internal …

Roots are crucial for nutrient and water acquisition and can be targeted to enhance plant
productivity under a broad range of growing conditions. A current challenge for plant …

Structural variations (SVs) have long been described as being involved in the origin,
adaption, and domestication of species. However, the underlying genetic and genomic …

Shoot meristems of plants are composed of stem cells that are continuously replenished
through a classical feedback circuit involving the homeobox WUSCHEL (WUS) gene and …

Proline is a proteogenic amino acid and accumulates both under stress and non-stress
conditions as a beneficial solute in plants. Recent discoveries point out that proline plays an …

Arabinogalactan-proteins (AGPs) are a large, complex, and highly diverse class of heavily
glycosylated proteins that belong to the family of cell wall hydroxyproline-rich glycoproteins …

Plant cell walls have the remarkable property of combining extreme tensile strength with
extensibility. The maintenance of such an exoskeleton creates nontrivial challenges for the …

The green algae represent a large group of morphologically diverse photosynthetic
eukaryotes that occupy virtually every photic habitat on the planet. The extracellular …

Summary The 2–oxoglutarate‐dependent dioxygenase (2 OGD) superfamily is the second
largest enzyme family in the plant genome, and its members are involved in various …

Herein, we review the multifaceted roles of proline in cell biology. This peculiar cyclic imino
acid is:(i) A main precursor of extracellular collagens (the most abundant human proteins) …
